Mom picked me up from the vet Friday after work.  She said my neuter when very well, easy for her to say.  Not being like a normal four legged dog I was in a lot of pain hopping around Friday night.  At bed time I just couldn’t sleep and kept mom up most of the night with my crying.  Saturday though, I was up feeling great!  I spent the day playing outside and took some nice long naps.  Mom said I was a trouble maker that night when I wouldn’t take my pain medicine.  She gave it to me wrapped up in yummy peanut butter, which I quickly licked off and spit the pill out.  Much to mom’s surprise my fur-sister Daphne quickly ate my pill!!  Mom gave me another pill and again I spit it out.  This time mom was much faster and gave it to me a third time.  She kept my mouth shut until I ate the pill and the peanut butter.  Peanut butter taste much better without medicine in it, just saying.

Mom says that all little dogs (and cats, no idea what that is) should be spayed and neutered.  This is what I think -

Mom emailed our OrthoPet’s Rep Kate to see how I did on Friday.  I was asleep during it all so I really don’t remember much.

Kate said -

He did very well!  The x-rays show some of his carpal bones floating around and a sharp point on the ulna, but he's built up a very nice pad on the tip of the limb.  I'll know more next week when the experts take a closer look at the cast on the x-rays.  Stay tuned.

Mom talked to the vet a little bit and sounds like the bone might be an issue and they might have to remove some.  I sure hope not, mom would worry way too much.
