    UPDATE! Brought to vet this morning. Very wJackson's appetite basically gone on 3rd day after neuter

    We had our little pup (Jackson) neutered this past Thursday. We picked him up Friday morning and he was fine, gorged his food down, where before he wasn't a huge eater. Yesterday, Sunday, the third day he didn' eat a thing all day. His energy seemed still there. Today he ate a little more. Should I be as concerned as I am? The vet said not too worry that much unless he becomes lethargic and weak.

    My opinion.....
    If hes not eating, and espcially if hes nt drinking by tommorrow DO NOT sit around and wait for him to become lethargic. When this happens something is already wrong. Be an advocate for your doggy. YOu know him better then the vet does, be pushy and persistent and take care of whats important, your puppy.

    We took him in this morning, as he threw up 3 times. He's still alert which is a good thing, but I am so worried about him I hope he bounces back quickly. He is being put on fluids this morning and getting blood tests done. I haven't slept in 2 days worrying about the little guy.

    this is not really unusual and very rarely  of any serious degree..most of these things are from the surgery itself and secondly the anesthesia...Doesn;t hurt to get him  checked but i suspect "this too shall pass"
