Apollo Is Being Fixed Today! **Question - About Males Being Fixed**

[Tora Oni]

SNIP Clinic around here I volunteered one day to wake up the boys. Most had little opening from surgery, another thing is my cat ripped his stitches out, after the night after, we didn't have other cats so we just let him roam. Though kinda was worried about the stitches being ripped out...but lucky us nothing ever came from that. Yeah most cats stayed over night and then next day they got picked up, when we got our dog spayed there they said just don't let her get too hyper and bouncy but she was running all over the place like nothing happened. Nothing came from that either.

Don Juan was neutered at the Humane Society before I could bring him home. They kept him overnight. When I picked him up, I didn't see any stitches, just the place where the fur was shaved around where his "kitty bits" used to be. And they didn't advise confinement, other than the usual advice to keep the new adoptee in a single room until he was used to his new home.

Of course, he was an adult (18 months) at the time, and quite healthy. Perhaps Apollo has an age or health issue that made the vet issue these particular instructions?

When Groucho was neutered, our vet kept him overnight. Even though I missed him, I was happy that he stayed so the vet crew could keep an eye on him after the procedure. The next day Groucho was very happy to come home and he was his normal self.
