I am not of the belief that neutering is healthier for the animal. Read more on this at
www.neutering.org. I am not spaying my two females because I consider myself a responsible pet owner and I can prevent unwanted pregnancies in two 3 lb dogs with very little risk.
I am sorry you are so scared but i think you are right to be. Altering is a serious surgery and should not be taken lightly. It is not "routine" and shpuld only be done when it is in the animal's best interests and just for the convenience of the owner.
I do respect your right to choose what is best for your boy and if you choose to neuter him i am sure you will pick the very best vet and make sure she uses the best equipement, has a professional monitoring the anesthesia and the vitals while she performs the surgery (don't let her do the surgery and monitor...it's not possible). The male surgery is easier and less invasive than then the female if that is any consolation.
Good luck.
