Cesar was neutered at 6 months. The vet did a good job and Cesar was sent home with pain pills (I only gave him one, before he went to sleep that night) and with a plastic collar (to keep him from licking or chewing on the stitches). I hand fed him when we got home, because the collar seemed to get in his way when trying to eat and drink but soon he learned how to maneuver around it. He had to keep the collar on until we went back to have the stitches removed and he never tried to pull it off. So, all went well and all my worries were for naught. Gloria
