Hi,
I posted in the general section about getting my boy neutered and someone sent me an article about the pros and cons of neutering that they got from someone in the Breeder Section. I thought I'd start a new post here and get some advice.
My Fletcher is 3.5 years old. For some reason that I really cannot explain I never got him neutered. I had his brother neutered when he was 5 months old. Fletcher is my baby and I am afraid to put him under ... even though he has no known medical problems at all, he's 9lbs, so he's not tiny. I just am afraid with him for some reason.
It has been hanging over my head to have Fletcher neutered, however I am now wondering if I should do it or just leave him intact for his lifetime. That article really was an eye opener. I am not breeding him, nor has he ever been bred. He was never AKC registered since I planned to fix him and have him as a pet only.
I have no problem whether I do or not, besides the marking, I am just wondering what is BEST for HIM. I do have an appt for Jan 30th to get him done and I just want to make sure this is the best thing for me to do for him. Here is the article that was sent to me.
What do you all think? I appreciate any advice!
Thanks!
