Last Saturday April 16...my 7 month old boy Harley was neutered. He started marking outside when he was about 5 mos old...I kept him comfined in the house when I couldn't watch him while he was potty training...but for the past 4-6 weeks he has done awesome with his potty training and I don't confine him much anymore unless I have to leave the house for a few hours...but anyhow...I did catch him 1 time lifting his leg in the house I quickly said NO and took him outside..he can mark his a$$ off out there LOL and he hasn't tried since...I did think about getting him neutered sooner but I didn't wanna put him under anymore than I had too..and at 5 mos Harley wasn't even teething yet...his Adult teeth didn't start coming in until he was 6 mos old...I'm happy that I waited cause he had to have all 4 baby k9's removed...I killed 3 birds with 1 stone...neuter/baby teeth removed/and microchipped all while he was under...I was a nervous mess I didn't leave the Vets office until my baby was a wake...than I went and did a few arrons...LOL But since Tuesday I have noticed Harleys not marking as much outside anymore...it could be that he is sore and it hurts a little when he lifts his leg I'm not sure but I'm hopeful his marking days are behind us...LOL
Harley hasn't done any licking at all...keeping him confined so he doesn't jump and run has been the hardest so far and he only has 1 more day of confinement rest left..Yay!! but my Vet said only 5 days of confinement rest...I guess all Vets are different.
Try not to worry to much...trust me I know its easier said than done...but everything will be ok...I will keep you two in my prayers...Don't forget to get the Blood panel done before they put him under...very important..Good luck!!
