How ill will my Chihuahua be after he gets neutered?

Getting my 6 mth old Chi neutered and a hernia removed and wondered what to expect after I get him home the same day.How ill will my Chihuahua be after he gets neutered?
He will be acting more lethargic than normal for the first couple of days after the surgery. You should avoid letting him play a lot. Your vet will give you a sheet of what to expect post surgery.How ill will my Chihuahua be after he gets neutered?
Expect him to be a bit woozy and tired, maybe a little grumpy as he will be sore, but if the op went without any hitches (and it ought to have if they let him home that day), it shouldn't take long for him to recover. Just make him as comfortable as possible and don't rush him to get back to normal. He might not want a walk for a couple of days so only take him out to do his business. Maybe keep his food and water bowls near to his bed so he he doesn't have to walk far.
They usually police their own activities the day of surgery. He'll be quiet, tired %26amp; probably will want to lay around resting the rest of the day. The important thing with the little guys is to keep them warm. Usually they're 100% back to normal within 24-48 hours after surgery. If your vet doesn't give you one request an e-collar (cone, lampshade). After neutering boys are really super itchy %26amp; are going to want to lick their incision like no other. The moisture %26amp; bacteria from their mouths will set them up for an infection %26amp; in worse case scenario he can rip out his sutures therefore needing more surgery to repair it.
He will be sleepy and sore, because he is so little keep him warm and comfortable hard as it is leave him alone make a little bed on the floor and let him sleep it off,usually by the next day they are back to normal but the day you bring him home...he will need lots of hugs (soft) and kisses give him a soft hug for me thank you for neutering!!!!
well my dog got neutered and he had to wear a cone on his head so he wont chew on the stitches but that was all that had any effect except now sence we had to leave him over night he hates being left home alone and follows us around the house.
gayer and have littler nuts than you
