Milo was neutered

BamaGroomer · Oct 8, 2016

We had Milo neutered Thursday and he's doing awesome!!! I tried to let him keep them as long as i could, but 2 weeks ago he started showing some ugliness to his doggie friends. I'm like oh no Mr that testosterone has got to go! When I picked him up he was so hungry, vet said he could eat but a little at a time. He didn't get sick at all! She did say he has a very long soft palate. I know that's standard for the breed but don't know much about it. Guess I better do my homework.

Awww what a cutie! I just picked Nellie up from the vet after 4 surgeries. She had a gastropexy, her palate shortened, her stenoic nares done, a biopsy and also get her spayed! She was at the vets for two days after the surgery to recover. She is ok but a bit miserable. I have yet to notice a difference from the palate surgery but had mates are much much wider and she looks different. Will let you know if I notice any changes in the palate surgery.

Poor Nellie! How old is she? Was she having problems? I will keep her in my prayers for a quick recovery.

Thanks! Oh yes he goes to work with me everyday. I'm a dog groomer, so he gets to play all the time.

Lucky Milo! I bet he is tuckered when he gets home. I'm sure he will settle down quick after his neuter and be his friendly self again.

He is gorgeous. You will know if the palate is causing him problems, as it can affect him eating, and breathing. If he gets winded easily and grunts or snores loudly, you know it is causing him problems and will then need to be fixed.

Thanks! We have been lucky that he's not one to throw up his food. But he does snore! Guess I better keep an eye on that. Thanks again for the info!
