When we neutered Chicco (RIP),I was extremly worried and almost didnt go through with it either,but it´s something positive for your baby,honest!
You prevent testicular cancer,and you also help prevent bad behaviour (marking) and agressivness,anxiety etc etc
Just imagine,a dog can smell a bitch in heat from a LONG way away,and all those hormones and sexual impulses just make your dog highly strung and sometimes it can make them agressive.
If you dont plan on breeding him,its the best thing you can do for him for so many reasons..he´ll be your little mellow fellow forever lol
Also,try not to worry at all (easier said tha done I know).Chicco was lightly sedated and they just numbed the erea to neuter him,so he was in and out in less than an hour and back to his old self by dinner time
You´re going to have a rough time trying to stop him playing afterwards
