I definitely recommend neutering him

I promise you he'll bounce back much quicker than you think. He'll most likely be awake and running around like normal the next day. It's amazing how quickly animals recover from these surgeries. It's so much better for his health to neuter him - no chance of testicular cancer or enlarged prostate. And he'll be much happier. Males can sense a female in heat up to a mile away and may do anything to get to her...he could escape and be hurt. Some males will even stop eating if a female in heat is near. It also curbs unwanted behavior such as humping, marking, and aggressive behavior.
