Oh a female is just so expensive. In a way I'm glad Dougal is a boy, it's marginally cheaper to get him done.

Is he home yet?

Yup, he's home, he's none too happy either. Hates the collar, but he's too out of it to do much about it at the moment. He's not shown any interest in eating or drinking yet but it's only been an hour since we got home. He keeps looking sadly at me as if to say 'what did you do to me mum!'

We have Metacalm to give him tomorrow and he's to go for a checkup on Thursday and stitches out in 10 days.

He's sleeping as best he can on the floor at the moment, strangely he's lying in classic staffie position, the frog...why does that not hurt!

He'll come out of it I'm sure, the trick is going to be keeping that ruddy collar on for 10 days as the vet told me to do. I can foresee a few disasters...

Aw glad he is home safe and sound bless him!

Do you need the collar for that long?
I didnt use it at all with the two dogs i have had neuteured maybe i was lucky cos they left it alone!

Well it's what the vet told me to do. But my parents never had one with any of their dogs and they were all okay.

We leave it on them when we are not there to supervise...but when we are there we take it off...but it is at your own risk!!!!
Healing hugs to himxxx

Thanks Ramble, that's actually good advice, I think that's what I'll do. Just put it on overnight while we are sleeping...not sure how long it will stay on though.

Aw bless him! Bryan hated the collar too. I only left it on him for about 5 minutes. He never bothered bout his stitches at all.

Hope you all get a good night's sleep x

I also found a good 'leave it' command was useful befor they were done!!!!

Hope all is well and he is settled for the night x

He's doing fine, he's had a little bit to eat and has been drinking which has made me feel a bit better. He's back on 'his' couch now
