Bentley goes to get neutered on Friday. He's having some baby teeth pulled as well. He is about 9 months old and maybe 4 pounds. I have heard many conflicting opinions on weight gain after surgery. I know he needs to have it done and Id love him either way but I do love the size he is right now. After he comes home should I be decreasing his food due to his metabolism slowing or does it matter? I want him at a healthy weight but I have heard a lot of people saying their baby ballooned after neutering. So if I should decrease, how much? Is it a myth that they gain weight? Also, how will he act after his surgery? Will he be really sleepy? How long should that last? I'm really nervous. I'm going to be on edge all day until they call to say he's awake and doing well. Id like to go see him when he wakes up. So worried and really confused on the weight thing. Also, will having those retained baby teeth removed help his breath? Sorry for all the questions at once. Thanks in advance for your replies.
