Did not have to use the E-collar, he didn't seem interested in the stitching. Ultimately i knew he was not going to be bred and the peace of mind knowing at that least we can avoid prostate problems worked for me. His temperment did not chance one ounce. Yoshi is just over 4 months so we still have a bit of time. Head and chest scratchings to Tierce and hoping for a speedy recovery. With Nikko, he was neutered at almost 7 months. Did not have to use

I picked up an herbal preparation at Petsmart and kept her semi-tranqillized using these "happy pills". May not be option for everyone, but it sure worked with her. Basically my approach was to let her sleep as much as possible and thereby promote healing. Initially, she just went outside to do her thing. I gradually increased the amount of time outisde and level of exercise during her recovery period. By the time her incision was checked, she was in pretty good shape. She has moderate hip dysplasia and therefore was not a candidate for breeding (even though she has a temperament that is wonderful!). For this reason, getting her spayed was a "no brainer".
