[header] How to care for your dog after being neutered [title] Let him rest. [step] As soon as you get home, make sure he has a comfortable spot to lie down indoors. Make sure it's quiet, as he will likely sleep a lot following the surgery.
Stay with him while he is healing, and don't run away or stop him from playing. [substeps] Give your dog lots of space, and try to carry him on a leash when you go out. If you notice he sleeps more than usual or is generally uncomfortable being in a confined room, sit down and talk to him for a few minutes. Do not force him to relax, as he may become agitated. Also, if you notice you notice your dog being quiet, take him outside after the surgery to give him time to rest. How long it takes is up to a day and a half, but if your dog typically wakes up to go outside you should wait for an hour or two and then release him away from that environment. Check on him once an hour to ensure he's not vomiting excessively, but otherwise let him be. Keep other animals and children away from him.
