Neutering questions Little Joey is 6 months old today. My vet told me to wait unti 7 months to get him neutered...he is 5 lbs. I just found out that i will have to leave him overnight at the Vet's office when he gets neutered...nooo!! Joey was stepped on at 12 weeks old (many of you may remember the story), so I am trying to hold off on any surgery because he's been through so much at such a young age. When should I get him neutered...have any dogs died from getting neutered?!?! I am just always so worried about my little guy...I don't want anything to happen to him...I just don't think I can deal with the emotions again :( |
I believe that six months is about the right time to do it. Since your little guy has had a trama, I'm not sure what age is good for him. I'm not positive, but if he isn't marking or being territorial you can wait for a couple more months and it won't matter, but again I'm not possitive about that. I hope someone is more informative for you. Good luck! Hannah |
Why does he have to stay overnight? Is it the night before or the night of the surgery... I don't see a need for the overnight stay afterwards... nobody is usually there (unless you have a 24 hour place). |
Dublin just came home yesterday. He was tired last night, but was up bright and early this morning ready to play!! Actually I was glad they kept him overnight (I've never had to leave one of my babies overnight before for neuter/spay.) because I knew they would be able to control the squirmy little booger better than I could! Try not to worry. As surgeries go, this one is not too bad. It's just a tiny little incision, and the stitches are inside and will disolve. Dub is 6 months, and I kind of wish that I had waited a little longer. I thought he just had 2 canine baby teeth that needed pulling, and they ended up finding more in the back and pulled a total of 8 teeth!!! My poor baby!! |
johnsae you live in nyc rite? there are other places where you can get him done... my vet is on 72nd street btwn broadway and westend .. heres the # 212-799-7000. i got chicle done tuesday ... dropped him off tues a.m. (9a.m.) and picked him up at 6pm but maybe considering what happened to him b4 ur vet thinks its best for him to stay overnite for monitoring ... :-\? |

I dont understand why he should have to stay overnight when no ones there anyway. Both of mine came home that night. My female was a little out of it but at least I could comfort her. |

I think he probably was better off, too because my other dogs would have gotten him too excited. It was a hard night without him, though! |
