    Neutered over a week ago.

    My 5 month old puppy Rupert (Rotti mix) was neutered last Friday. The days following his surgery he was fine, alittle out of it, sleepy. But I was told that was normal. He even went back to eatting normal.
     
    BUT, the past three days he hasn't seemed himself. He's been sleeping almost all day, won't eat much (only one meal a day), and hasn't been playful.
     
    I checked his incision. It isn't hot or oozing. Everything down there seems pretty normal. He seems alittle swollen, but vet said that was normal.
     
    Has this happened to anyone. Their dogs personality just changes for awhile? I hope it's not permenant, I want my Rup back. [&:]

    take his temp...anything over 102.5, get him seen...you can use these strip temp  papers by placing it on the hairless part of the groin

    That's good to know, dvet.  Max really resists having the vet take his temp (he immediately sits and won't get up) so I wouldn't be looking forward doing it myself at all.[:D] I'm glad to know I could use those strips if I ever needed to.
