I had a pom Maya. She was very smart and much easier to house break than my yorkies. She was a bit yappy and more independent. I also took in Nikki(a rescue) who is estimated to be 19 years old a couple of years ago when his owner( the rescuer) had a stroke. He had to have all of his teeth pulled due to severe decay. His blood work was good and he really needed the surgery. He did fine. I would see what the vet says about putting him under just for a neuter at this age. I was afraid that Nikki would mark bringing him in to a house with 3 females but he never did. Also, he was use to being walked to go potty and he adjusted right away to potty pads here. I hope it all works out for you. |
