Lab getting fixed
I am getting my 6 yr old lab neutered in the next couple weeks and was wondering if anybody could tell me about how long the recovery is until he can hunt again. I was always planning on raising pups with him, but never have and as he gets older I want to rule out any of the problems associated with his "boy Parts." Any help would be appreciated

RE: Lab getting fixed
He will most likely act completely normal within 24 hours after the surgery. Sometimes (depending on the dog and the type of drugs used) it may take a couple of days. You shouldn't hunt him until the sutures come out (7-10 days). Watch the licking of the incision.
