So glad Gizmo did well.? Does he have to go back to have stiches removed?? Cesar did but I understand some vets use those that dissolve.

I picked Gizmo up from the vets yesterday evening and he did great!? I kept a close eye on him last night and I didn't notice him licking his incision area at all.? He was very, very hungry when he came home and wanted to play.? The vet said no running around or jumping for a week so I just gave him a little food and kept him in his x-pen.? He acted like his normal self after surgery so I guess he is okay!? They bounce back quick, don't they?? I checked his incision sight this morning and it looks very good, not red at all.? The hardest part, I guess is keeping him quiet and still for a week, LOL!? He wants so bad to come out and play with my Australian Shepherd,?Zoe (his "big sister" and ?playmate) but I can't let him yet. ?

Poor baby. I wont leave mine over night either. As far as after care, the vet will of course give you instructions. I have never realy had much problems with any of them bothering the stitches, so I have no advice other than just keep and eye on him. Marsha > Gizmo is at the vets today.? He is getting neutered.?
