I am not going to get into the pros and cons of altering pets....I firmly believe in it. Period.
What I think is most important that you have brought up is the topic of anesthesia. If you are afraid to have him go under for a neuter, what will you do when he needs dentals? He is small and more than likely going to need them yearly....and the only correct way to do them is under anesthesia. You need to discuss this fear with your vet. As long as your vet is using up to date anesthetic procedures, the risk of death during anesthesia is soooo low. There is a greater risk that your pup will end up with cardiac and renal issues due to periodontal disease if his teeth are not properly cared for. |
