I got Parker neutered at almost 9 months. Did not get x ray to see if growth plate was closed. I was running into a wall cause he was using the pee pad but started marking. Still I wish I had known if the plates was closed. Probably just my imagination but seems like he has grown in the last 5 weeks. I know testosterone is what closes the plate and I did not want him taller. But he could have grown tall anyway. Just kinda bugs me. But I choose to do it and he is still very short. I just did not want to add any leg to him for any LP or any leg problem. He is not a jumper at all. I just keep wondering. How much taller a dog can grow if neutered before the plates close.
