I want to have Bruno neutered because he has really been acting out in the past month, marking his territory, becoming more aggressive, etc. I would also like to bring him to doggy daycare some times so he can play with other dogs however they do not allow dogs who are not spayed/neutered. The vet seems to think the risk is low and it is okay to have him neutered. However there is a risk since he has a compromised liver. She is planning on using gas instead of an injectable which is less stress on his system and will wear off quicker. I am still terrified that something will happen. I think having him neutered however will be very beneficial however not at the cost of his life. I am so torn right. Does anyone have any advice??? |
Ahhh....I know the worry, but you have to try and do everything else possible to ensure he will have a happy and healthy life, which IMO is being neutered.
Roxy was spayed, she had a teeth cleaning, she had bi-lateral LP surgery, then she had a second LP surgery, then she had to have a pin removed that migrated from the LP surgery.....THEN....we found out she has liver issues MVD.
So she went 'under' all those times and I didn't even know she has MVD. Just last month she had to have major dental, but we are aware of the MVD and took precautions.
I'll be thinking of you guys
