I'm picking up a rescue that was just neutered. I've never had to deal with aftercare - tips?

Just give em the antibiotics and dont let it chew at the stitches. Watch for signs of infection etc. Plenty of flyids and food etc. No playing and rough housing. Takes a few weeks to heal.

It’s no big deal. Keep it low key for a few days, stitches should dissolve rather quickly. As long as the canine is eating, drinking, urinating, and defecting regularly, you’ll be golden.

Cool, thanks. I was wondering if I needed to separate him from my other dog... but I can probably get away with just monitoring.

Well you know your dogs better than we do. It all just depends. All mine seem to get along but again no rough housing and excesaive playing. If it gets bad then yes separate. You got this. Good luck!

Ah, thanks. Well - I know my dog, but we're adopting the newly-neutered dog from a shelter tomorrow, so I don't know him very well. Luckily my dog listens to commands really well, so she shouldn't be a problem.

What kind of dogs do you have?
