Hi all! I'm planning to have my puppy spayed in the next few months. I'm not certain of his breed as he was a rescue but they think he is a mix of Chihuahua and Maltese at the very least, so he is a small guy. He's currently 5 months old, and is about 6.5 pounds.
I'm wondering how much time I should be planning to take off work (if any at all)? My partner and I share responsibilities in terms of his care so on an average day, he is never alone for more than 3 hours at a time. He's not crated – he has a gated off area where he has his bed, a few toys, a turf patch that he's very good at using when he's alone, and water. He's great at entertaining/playing with himself and does not really have separation anxiety in general. He sleeps throughout the night.
Will he need to be monitored constantly for the first few days? What was your personal experience when your puppy was neutered? Any advice will help, thank you!
