I know how you feel......I tossed around the idea of neutering Mojo for a long time, even cancelled appts. Finally, he had some bleeding (which turned out to be nothing - that's another story) and when I was doing research on that, I got really scared from all the problems I read about that can happen to an un-neutered male! Plus, my vet said that if they hump alot, it is time to get them neutered. Also, if you wait too long, I think my vet said from 6 years on, they have more problems or some problems may have already started to occur.
Anyway, we took Mojo in at 9:30 on morning and picked him up at 1pm that same day. The vet offered me to stay and watch, but I just didn't want to be there (in case something went wrong). I was a nervous wreck - about bawled when I dropped him off.

I have to say, he did better than I did! When we picked him up, he was so hyper and bouncing around, like nothing happened. When we got home, he was alittle groggy from the meds, but other than that, he was fine.

We didn't do the glue because our vet said it itched more and that can cause the dogs to bite or scratch at it. But we did the stitches (which didn't need to be taken out) and it is already healed up where you can't really tell anything was done! WOW!

We bought a tiny baby onesie because that is what someone on here recommended. It was alittle big on him, but he never complained about it or bothered his stitches. We put it on and had the snaps on the top of his back (so they wouldn't be rubbing against his stitches) and we cut a hole for his tail.

After all that worry, etc........I learned it was nothing to worry about and in the long run, it is better because we don't have to worry about other problems that can arise from not neutering.

Good luck!
