My yorkie has been neutered.
It's funny though. His behavior/personality has changed since the neutering.
Prior to surgery (at roughly 9 months of age)...he was becoming very aggressive at marking his territory. Would want to fall asleep on the couch at night (he liked the couch) or he would fall asleep in our pile of clothes on the floor...like a pair of jeans or something. He was a bit defiant w/ me...which was a little frustrating for me.
Immediately post surgery...he was a bit slow. Obviously a bit groggy...but he was okay.
Post surgery after recovery, he became the sweetest cuddle bug ever!!! He was sooo attached to me and my gf. He would go to sleep at night on our bed next to us. He doesn't mark his territory as much...just once in awhile.
I'm not saying that the neutering was the sole cause for his change in personality...but my gf and I have talked about this. If he was as sweet as he is now back then...we would've had a much harder time deciding to neuter him or not.
He has never raised his leg inside the house (pre and post surgery). He knows better. His territory marking has always been done outside. |
