Default Neutered & "Tumor" removed

Hello everybody,

I have had my rottweiler for 6 years in April. His name is Max. I took Max
to the vet this morning to get a tumor removed from his mouth. Max doesn't
like the Vet, but he usually isn't overly aggressive. Today we made the
mistake of crowding him a little too much and he snipped my sisters hand.
We were all amazed because Max has never bitten before. After that I
decided to have Max neutered, hoping it will calm his aggression down some.
Max had a small "tumor" removed from his mouth and had the castration
performed. He, of course, was heavily sedated during all of this. The
tumor has been sent off for testing to make sure Max doesn't have cancer. I
am not sure what anesthetic was used on Max. He was very wore out until
tonight. The anesthetic has begun to wear off, but Max is still apparently
in pain. I am worried because he has thrown up twice since I have gotten
him home. Once about 4 hours after he got home and now about 9.5 hours
after he has been home. Is this normal for a canine who has been under an
anesthetic? He has been put to sleep before to have a tooth removed and did
not get sick to his stomach afterwards.

Thanks in advance, I am worried about Max. I am hoping for positive replies
from you all tonight and from the vet in the morning.

Sorry to hear that. I am hoping Max's growth doesn't come back. I am also
hoping that the tests on the growth come back negative this week. They
didn't stitch Max's area, they simply burned the growth off and burned the
area closed. Right now I am just trying to get his stomach back to normal.
He is having a hard time keeping down water and he hasn't touched food yet.
Any recommends? I want to get him back to health, I hate seeing my "little
buddy" feel bad. Good news though, he is full of energy this morning and
the stitches from the castration seem to have been done properly and show no
signs of infection.

Throwing up is normal after surgery. Many anesthesia drugs make animals (or
people) have sick stomachs. Clearing the drugs from the system is an
individual response, but in an older dog, it takes MUCH longer. He'll also
be groggy from the pain medication. You need to really watch him and keep
that activity level down, as the scrotum is just an empty sac to fill up
with blood if the dog is too active and tears a bleeder. If he is in pain,
and there is no real way to tell until the anesthesia wears off, then it's
most likely due to the mouth surgery, not the neuter. I'd approach your vet
about using a topical numbing agent for the mouth to see if that helps.
Benadryl can also act as a sedative and allow the dog to sleep while the
pain dissapates. Again, talk with your vet about using this approach.

Max is doing fine everybody. No more sickness and the wound from the
surgery appears to be healing fine. I am having trouble getting Max to
leave the stitches alone. He is wanting to lick them constantly and I am
afraid he is going to take them out. Is there much I can do about this or
should I just let him be? I am worried that if the stitches come out too
early the wound will not heal. Am I being over paranoid? BTW, the vet told
me that Max will take care of the stitches himself. In my haste I didn't
ask him what he meant. Any tips. Could these be dissolvable or will Max
actually pull them out with his teeth?
