I think keeping them quiet is the main thing anyone will tell you. If they aren't spending the night at the vet's office, you may find that they are a little sick to their stomach from the anesthesia. My Lilly was. But I was so happy to have her here, so I could watch after her.

Your vet will probably give you very detailed instructions about limiting activity for a while, because of the stitches, and keeping them from running and jumping once they feel better (easier said than done). But you'll be amazed how quickly they bounce back.

Good for you for going ahead and having it done now. And Welcome to Pet Talk! We're glad you posted!!
