I think most of us were scared to take our baby for spay or neuter. Since your guy is already having some issues with his male hormones it probably would help to get him neutered. I have seen so many people complain about their male Yorkies marking inside on this forum that it has me concerned.
We have had whole males (of other breeds) that never marked inside but maybe the Yorkie has more of a tendency toward this. I don't know. If he is not a show dog and you don't plan on breeding him then there is no reason to keep him whole.
As others have said it is really important to feel comfortable with your vet's skill level with small dogs. There are many vets that have worked with larger dogs for many years but have very little experience with a dog under 6lbs. Talk to your vet and find out how he/she does the surgery and what to expect. Make sure you have the proper blood work done ahead of the surgery. |
