I have a one year old dog who was neutered yesterday and was in the hospital all night. We got him this morning, he peed outside the hospital, we got home and he drank a whole bunch of water. I have taken him out 2 different times and he won't pee. Also he's more grouchy, he's barking at people.

Call the vet that neutered him, they should have an on call vet have them answer these questions. I can understand him being grumpy but he should go to the bathroom, if he has not gone buy morning I would make it a point to get him seen as soon as possible
about the neutering procedure. This is a routine procedure done on males involving removal of the testes, spermatic cord and blood vessels. The incision is then closed in 2 layers. While your pet is healing, please keep the following in mind:
1.Expect some sleepiness / depression the night he goes home. Allow him to rest comfortably that night
2.You may offer a small amount of water in the early evening and later, a small amount of food. Attitude and appetite should gradually return to normal in a day or so.
3.Monitor the incision daily. Please check for excessive swelling, drainage or discharge from incision or any excess redness of the incision itself. Look for loose or missing sutures or any gaps in the incision.
4.The skin sutures are non-absorbable and will need to be removed in about 10 to 12 days. Please schedule and appointment for suture removal. If any problems or questions arise during the healing phase, please contact us as soon as possible.
- neuter followup: Your pet has undergone a routine surgery. Although routine, please keep the following in mind:
1.Expect the dog to be sore for about l-2 weeks.
2.Check scrotum daily for swelling, discharge or open incisions. Call as soon as possible if any problems or questions arise.

He's barking because he's hurting. He's lashing back at people, which is not really normal unless the animal is in severe pain. That's NOT normal for just a neutering. He need's to go to the vet's and soon. The fact that he is having a hard time urinating is a symptom of the neutering. There might be swelling that's obstructing the urethra, the tube that allows the urine to reach the outside. Again, your dog need to go to the vet soon.

If you were neutered you would bark and be grouchy also. I realize you are very worried or wouldn't have asked question so I am not making light of it. Call your vet and ask this question but surely he has peed by now. He was probably still under the influence of the drugs and was disoriented.

First thing IF you can't get him to the vet tonight. Does he have a fever???? Is he eating? Walk him a little longer than you usually would sometimes it takes time to get things going again. The fever is the main issue for now. Also if you can't get him to the vet I would at least call tonight. Most vets have an emergency Number. As far as the barking he problem is feeling a little out of sorts.

It's probably nothing, if he peed once that's a great sign, another pee will come with time.
If he still doesn't by tomorrow night you'll want to call your vet.

if they had you neutered, would not you be a bit grouchy,and after the drugs wore off don't you think it might hurt to go to the bathroom for a day or so?

He is probably uncomfortable and maybe in pain. Did the vet offer you pain medication for your dog following the surgery? If not I would contact your vet and tell him/her you think you dog is painful.

He may still be groggier from the anesthesia. When it gets out of his system he should be better in a few days if not call the vet.
