If he won't try to lick it off, old-fashioned Noxema cold cream helps a lot for razor burn. Waldo had many episodes of it after x-rays, surgeries, etc. 

Bad breath can be caused by the anesthesia - I don't know why, but it's true in humans too (my dad is an anesthesiologist.) If Rupert's breath isn't normally bad, it should wear off in a few days.

Rupert has some razor burn on his belly, not near the incision but in the shaved area (duh!) Is there something I can put on it to relieve the burn? 
 
Also, his breath stinks so bad. Just an observation. Blagh!
 
Thanks, Kacy
