My Doodlebug was neutered at 6 months old. He was hiking that little leg when he was about the age of your little guy. I also have another boy who was neutered well over a year old and he is not a leg lifter. My female who was spayed at 6 months lifts her leg~go figure. The price range of the surgery really does vary greatly from vet to vet. I was very lucky to have a vet that participates in the local spay/neuter program and I purchased a certificate at the local shelter to use for all three. The boys were $65 and my girl was $90 (I believe). That did not include bloodwork was still very cheap for this area. As for the size of your little guy I could not tell you since I thought my Doodlebug would be around 5 to 6 lbs full grown since he was just under 2 lbs when we brought him home. He's 12 lbs now!
I see Steve quoting $189 for the neuter which is about what I would have paid without the certificate. But you really cannot compare TX to Chicago prices which is where be both live.
