| Re: Giovanni is Finally Getting Neutered (This Tuesday)
[FONT='Courier New'][FONT='Courier New'][FONT=Verdana]I am so excited for Gio! He is finally going to be able to live with the girls; I bet he will be happy after the 3 weeks are up. Don’t worry so much, if this vet is highly recommended, I am sure everything will be fine. Did you have a chance to ask about their success rate and what type of anesthetic they use? There is a page around here somewhere on the proper questions to ask when considering doing a neuter.[/FONT][/FONT]
[FONT='Courier New'][FONT=Verdana]I would either ask for the day off, or pick him up after you are done with work completely. You should have the whole day to watch him to make sure he is alright. Taking him to a new place with new smells might stress him out. Do you have someone that could watch him while you are working? It should be alright for him for a few hours, but it would be better for someone to be there observing, just in case. [/FONT][/FONT]
[FONT='Courier New'][FONT=Verdana]Critical care shouldn’t be needed, but it is good to have it on hand in case he doesn’t start eating afterward. Basically, just weigh him daily for the three weeks afterward and make sure he is drinking/eating regularly. I believe it is normal for them to not eat much the day of/after the surgery.[SIZE=3][SIZE=3][/SIZE][/SIZE][/FONT]
