Yesterday titan got neutered its been over 24 hours and I noticed his right hind leg is clumpsy like he can't put his whole weight one it because it will not hold him? Is that normal? Also if he pees and I don't let him lick himself can the incision get infected should I let him lick a little? How little is little? Help please I'm freaking out and I can't sleep.

I'm sure he'll be fine, it's totally normal to not have a bm for a couple days after anesthesia. I def would not let him lick at all because it could delay healing, neuters heal pretty quickly so I would just keep an eye on the incision for signs of infection (redness, swelling, discharge). If he's still having weakness in his leg tomorrow I would def call the vet, normally the anesthesia drugs are injected into the muscle of one of the hind legs so it's always possible they could have hit a nerve.
