but because of a couple factors (his developing epilepsy being one of them), decided against it, and at age 6, he finally got neutered. Brought him home from the vet, kept him as calm as I could that night, and put him out in his kennel the next day when I went to work. Came home that night, and his kennel looked like the scene of a murder. Blood EVERYWHERE. My first thought was "Oh crap... how much does he hold - is he a quart low????" Get him out onto the grass, roll him over and examine the incision thoroughly... but can't find where the blood was coming from. Call the vet the next morning (saturday), and they agree I should bring him in to get it looked at. Vet comes out and examines him on the tailgate of my pickup, looks over the incision and comes to the same conclusion I did, can't find anywhere he had been bleeding from. But they prescribe a 5-day course of antibiotics just to be safe, and I head back home. Pull in my driveway, and I'm going to lift him out of the truck when I notice his left front paw is red. Roll him over and examine the paw.... he had been pawing at his water dish the previous day, and broke a nail down past the quick. His incision was fine.
