Yesterday we got Teddy neutered. It was a very stressful day for him, he suffers from seperation anxiety and he is VERY protective of me. We had the vet do an evaluation on him, and as soon as the vet pulled him away from me, Teddy went into attack mode and tried to bite the vet. He also sprayed urine everywhere and the vet had to leave to clean himself off. When he returned, I saw that he was bleeding, and asked if he was bitten. Thankfully, Teddy just scratched him. He was sooo scared of the vet, and we had to put a muzzle on him. The vet could barely check him out, and by looking at Teddy's front teeth, he said that he appears to be between 1 and 2 years old. Teddy has never acted like that before. Just Saterday, we had him in Pet Smart, where strangers came up and petted him. One lady even gave him a kiss. I think it was because the vet pulled him away from me, so he instantly felt threatened.
Anyways, while the muzzle was still on, they gave him a sedation shot. We put him in one of their cages and left. When we went to pick him up, we could instantly see the pain in his eyes. They also gave him a rabies shot, did a blood panel and trimmed his nails. We were originally going to have his double dewclaws removed as well, but at the very last minute, I decided that the neuter was going to be enough. When we got him home, we could see just how much pain he is in. He is walking so very slowly, and he keeps making noises like a guinea pig makes. He refuses to sit down, so I have to keep laying him on his side. I called in sick from work today because I was afraid to leave him alone. He can't jump on the couch, so he'll put his front two legs on it, and then look back at me. Of course I know that means he wants me to pick him up and put him up there. He did eat a little this morning, but he hasn't done much else.
We've had about 25 cats spayed/neutered, a horse gelded, and he makes the second dog that has been neutered. He is by far, the one who has taken it the worse. And I feel so guilty! He has a "hospital bed" on our couch only inches from me, and he keeps making his little cooing noise until I look at him, then he stops, until I look away again. He's breaking my heart!
He is on a pain medicine (we've never had to give it to anyone else but we get it just incase) and it scares me because it has valium in it. I'm so glad that I took today off so that I could keep an eye on him and baby him!
