You can certainly can look into belly bands. They may help, they certainly won't hurt. Unfortunately, even neutered males will be attracted to in tact females from time to time. Keeping them separated would certainly be the best option for all involved, but if that is not an option for you...

don't panic, he IS an amazing vet- he wasn't saying he'd actually do it- just to prove he had no ideas what-so-ever... that proceedure is for if the dog has a medical problem such as cancer or a serious injury with which the only other option would be euthanasia...

i know i'm just being overly sentimental, but hes only recently started to trust everyone after what happened to him (he was also beaten and had his leg broken in 2 places and never set... he doesn't trust easily!) and i'm afraid that rehoming him would undo any trust in mankind that he was building up; but obviously if its that or byebye bambi, then i'd have to let him go
