I took Oscar in for his yearly physical and shots on Monday, and my Vet told me he would suggest waiting until he was around 8yrs old before neutering him!! I asked my vet why he suggest waiting so long and he said if I'm not having any issues with him marking or with aggression ect. that we could wait until later.. I asked why 8yrs old and he said that 8yrs old is the longest he would want to wait due to anesthesia complications in older dogs, as well as thats about the time they start seeing the testicular cancer and prostate problems. This whole conversation took me by surprise because he has ALWAYS been very adament about fixing your pups. The marque out front even says "If it ain't fixed Neuter it" So I'm confused as to why he would suggest waiting only because he doesn't have any problems and he's healthy.
