I'm getting Baxter fixed first, then Bernie, since Baxter is the worst. Hopefully the vet will get him in quickly. The vet wanted me to wait until he hiked to have him neutered, so he wouldn't squat to pee. I think I'd rather have a squater. Hopefully I'm catching it soon enough that this gosh awful habit isn't ingrained in his brain. In the meantime, gotta have a bellyband. Thanks again. |
I've got to tell you I'm shocked your vet thinks that. Joey was neutered before he ever hiked his leg to pee, and still learned to do this. I think your vet is misinformed about this, older dogs can even start doing this if they see another male dog do it. Most people want it done before they ever mark.
