How old was your Yorkie at neutering?? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

chachi · 09-25-2005, 08:23 AM

I would talk to your vet about the teeth and see what he wants to do. My vet pulled 4 teeth that he could tell were not going to come out on my female who was spayed at 6 months. He also pulled some of Chachis. All the rest have came out on their own.

Starsky was neutered almost 2 weeks ago. He is 7 months. He had two baby teeth pulled. He was lifting his leg around 4 to 5 months and started marking right before he was neutered. I think he still has a little testosterone in his body, but he gradually slowing down on the humping business. He did really well with the surgery. He didn't seem to slow down at all. I had to make him slow down! Evey dog takes the surgery different I guess.

Stomper was "ready" at 4 months old so we got it done ASAP since we didn't plan to breed him.

In the States, my non-Yorkie dogs have been neutered at 6 - 8 months. My vet here in England says he prefers to do it at about a year. A year??? Wellllll, they could do it sooner if there are behavior problems. The first time he starts humping something or starts marking, I'm going to be there begging!

Logan just got neutered friday. He turned 19 weeks yesterday. He was either just started to mark or going through he terrible twos not sure which. He had never lifted his leg. However, since his surgery his has lifted his leg once and been a little more hump happy then he was before. Not sure if this is normal right after surgery or not. I gonna wait a couple days before i worry. The vet did not remove any teeth. Let me say my yorkie is big he was already 7.2 lbs when he went in to get neutured.

Chicle just got neutered about 2 weeks ago now.. and hes 7months

Marie · 09-26-2005, 10:59 AM

Gucci is 1 yr old and hasnt being spay yet.(medical reasons) She will get spay soon. Our vet also recommends to spay/neuter around 6 months, but it can be done as soon as 8 weeks I believe.

Our doggie health care plan stated that he must be neutered by
the age of 6 months for them to cover the cost involved so Ted
was neutered 2 weeks before he was 6 months old.

Gus was almost 7 monthes. Since then, he mostly swats to pee but will lift his leg sometimes. And will mark like crazy but only outside! He used to hump like crazy before being fixed, but now he only does it once in a while. Like when he's roughhousing with my husband or son.

Thanks guys.. It sounds like 6 months is the average time. I guess we should start looking at dates. I'm not sure how his baby teeth are comming. We will have to have them checked. Anyway, as usual, everyone here is so helpful!!

I had Amos neutered as soon as my vet would allow (6 months I think). But he started lifting his leg at about 3 1/2 months old!!!!

Yes, that early...I even called my vet when I saw him do it because it freaked me out that he would be doing it that early!

Is he around other male dogs who have demonstrated that behavior to him?

Fagan hasn't consistantly started lifting his leg. He does it on occassion but he still squats mostly to pee.
