Hot Rod was neutered at 6 1/2 mos old. He does not mark inside at all. He will be 2 the end of August. He weighs a whopping 4.1 lbs. He's gotten up to 4.3 lbs and was a little round and asked the vet was he overweight and she said that he could probably an ounce or 2. This was wintertime when we weren't walking as much. We generally walk about 1 1/2 miles total for the day plus he and Maggie May run around playing. So as for being overweight, I guess it is also how and what you feed him and what kinds of activities you'll be having him involved in.
Hot Rod came microchipped when we got him. I feel better that he does have it. Good luck with what you decided to do.
For me, I felt having him neutered was the responsible thing to do. |
