My Sammy was about 4 years old and had surgery because he had eaten something plastic and had an obstruction. The vets office called and asked me since he was going under anesthesia did I want to have him neutered. So I told them that if the vet thought he could handle it, go ahead and do it. I too was afraid to have him neutered. Well, it did not change his personality or anything about him. He was still an active, funny little love bug that he had always been. So if your vet advises it, go ahead and do it. It is healthier for the dogs too. Sammy lived to be 13 years old. |
