My vet wanted to wait until Chewy was around nine months, he wanted him to gain a little more weight. Since he is the only vet where I live, I wanted to do it when he felt comfortable. I was nervous that he would start humping and lifting his leg, and the vet said if I started to see that behavior he would move it up. Before the surgery, he would lift his leg every once in a while and humped just a handful of times. Since the surgery (at nine months) he still lifts his leg every once in a while, but he has not humped once. He has never marked. When he does lift his leg, it is not a big deal since he goes on a pee pad in a box, the pee pad still goes up the sides of the box. Anyway, hope this helps! |
