Re: need advice: cage environment after neutering

He will need separated in a small space to limit movement for a few days after surgery until the wound heals and it would probably be better away from the girls in case they go into heat. Neutering only affects the ability to reproduce and doesn't take away the ability to get aroused.

He will need to be kept separated from the girls for at least 3 weeks while the remaining sperm die off.

I would watch for signs after surgery of him being in pain. He may need more than just one post surgery dose of meloxicam (metacam).
