Neutering a dog

[meggers]

I have a dog that is needing to be neutered soon. I was wondering what the healing process will be like after having it done. How long after being fixed will he be able to be left unsupervised for long periods of time w/o risk of messing up stiches? How long would we have to wait to send him back to daycare?

I'm not sure if it is the same with every dog, but with our dog Max (a mini daschchund) he was exactly the same afterwards! I expected him to be tired and hurt, but no one else would never have been able to tell. The vet said it was fine to leave him home as we normally did.

His stinches were inside so there was no risk of him hurting them. The vet told me just to avoid long walks for a few days.
