I don't think Jason even seemed slightly groggy after his little boy op. He wanted to start playing as soon as we got him home again!

I think it depends on the type of anaesthesia they use MrsH. At our vets you can pay a little bit more to have this 'safer/non drowsy' anaesthetic. Particularly recommended for the very young and the elderly patients but I always have it if my pets 'go under'

Re: What to expect when he is neutered?


Everyone has already given excellent advice

You will probably have to drop him down early in the morning. He will be taken through, any bloods run (if necc) almost straight away and then he should have his pre-med (sedative/painkillers). Operations will probably start after morning consults. The operation takes only minutes, there will be no stitches and a very small incision so you should be able to collect him later that day.

You will probably find he is a bit 'hung over' after the anaesthetic and at our clinic we advise that any animals stay indoors for 48 hours after their anaesthetic, as it takes this long for the effects to wear off fully.

Denis wasn't at all bothered following and he is a scardy cat. It is so different from years ago when the cats were affected for days...aww. He did leave little drops of blood where he sat for a few hours following
