Zizou is 4.5 months old right now and some people have been suggesting that I neuter him before 6 months or else he will develops "bad habits". I'd love to hear what YTers think about this - is that too early? Also, I'm a little nervous about him getting this procedure (I'm a first time small dog owner and my family's big dogs were not neutered or spayed until they were much older). So anything you can tell me about neutering will be helpful. Will he be very uncomfortable afterwards and for how long? He is also very small right now at 2lbs and I'm worried that he is too light to get anesthesia...

Thanks in advance!
