I didn't plan to get Harley nutered, but one of his testicles didn't descend. We waited and waited to see if it would, but by nine months it still had not so I went ahead and got it done. He had already starting marking...even a few times on the wall inside!! Before the nuter, he had to go a lot and didn't seem to try and hold it very long unless he was home alone (then he wouldn't go at all until I got back). Now after the nuter, he can hold it much longer. He never goes inside at all. He will occasionally hike his leg outside still. He acts calmer, but still playful and fun all the time like he was before just not as crazy. And he only had to have 4 teeth pulled when he had surgery (canines).
I called A LOT for updates and they were happy to give them to me!
