I have a canine athlete. (one of those studies). I didn not neuter EARLY because of that, but I did neuter because he was cryptorchid (had an undescended testicle) and that puts a dog at much higher risk for tumors/cancer then a dog with descended testicles.
Also, all my male dogs have always been neutered. there is no real compelling reason not to do this, and plenty of ones TO DO it.
I have a 14 year old neutered yorkie now and my 7 month old was neutered as soon as he was 5 months old (I wanted him to hit 4 lbs first). No problems with either one, and it has stopped Fergus humping the couch pillows.
I say, unless your vet says there is a compelling medical reason not to do it, you should. |
My vet want do it , he said wait till he is a little biger , their is a vet in my area that will, thats why i don't no what to do. mine vet said no.
