just picked up Thumper from the vet - YorkieTalk.com Forums

My husband took Thumper to the vet this morning to be neutered and we finally got to pick him up at 7pm! That was soo long for me. I'm glad I had to work today, I would have gone crazy and drove my husband crazy too! I don't know what I'm going to do when I have this baby in 6 months...I'm such a worrier!

He's seems to be doing fine. He's sleeping in his crate right now. I was so scared that they were going to say they had to keep him overnight cuz they did tell us they might have to and said there would be a few drs. coming in to check on the animals throughout the night. I'm just glad he's home with us!

I have to keep getting him to stop licking his stitches. I don't know what else to do except just try to direct his attention away from them. But what about in the middle of the night if he bothers them while I'm asleep? Is that okay? It's kind of hard to stop him all the time when he's licking them every 2 minutes.

Hi, glad your baby is doing good

Could you possibly put a onsie on him to wear?? Maybe it would cover that spot to help keep him from licking. Just a thought

Good Luck to you!!

baby onsie is what I used on all of mine. turn it on upside down so the snaps are on the top of him and cut a hole for his tail. it works. mine didn't bother the stitching at all. just make sure he stays dry.
