I am no expert in fact I have no real idea. but, 4 is not that old,Dogs that end up in shelters are neutered and spayed no matter how old they are.
While I'm sure he will not bounce back like a puppy I'm sure he will be fine.
Leaving a beloved pet at the vet all day is never an easy thing but,if you trust your vet it should be fine If you do not trust your vet to leave him all day or even over night then it's time to find a new vet you do trust.
I am not one to talk really Gatsby at 2 is still not neutered He was anemic as a puppy and now he has trouble with anemia so I am terrified of his going through surgery. I am talking to my vet now about laser surgery because he said it would be safer I still don't know much but you might want to mention it to your vet.
