Dazzle is neutered

.
The surgery today went well.  Nothing out of the ordinary and no complications with any part of it.  He is laying next to me now sleeping off the effects of the knock-out drugs.  He seemed really confused and a bit worried about the lack of function in his legs (due to the drugs  affecting the signals from his brain that tell his legs how to move). 
.
He's still a bit wobbly, but doing much better than this morning. He has investigated the stitches and licked a bit, but hasn't been bothering it so I haven't put on a muzzle or cone, but I will probably put a soft muzzle on him tonight so he can't lick it while I'm sleeping and not paying attention. He's the only one in the office with me and the rest of the boys are gated out so he can sleep in peace. 
.
The doc put in extra tight internal stitches to close the part that was cut, then put in subQ stitches on the incision and then used a skin glue on top of those.  So they should hold up to his activity level, which I'll try to keep low for awhile, but we'll see if he cooperates :-). I did drain the pool so he can't get soaked.  Thank-you Alicia for not going crazy with the clippers too!  The minimal shaving hides it well so he doesn't look like he just had surgery (except for the little shaved patch on his front leg for the IV, but that hair is pretty short anyway, so it's not too obvious, especially since his skin is almost the same color as his fur).
.
So all is well -knock on wood- and we'll be keeping our fingers crossed that this helps alleviate the tension between him and Coyote and gives Dazzle a bit longer "fuse" than the hair trigger he had before. But we're going to continue with muzzles and management as fight prevention for awhile to give the hormones time to normalize till we see if this works.
