| Our vet said it was time to get ours neutered either at 6 months or when they started lifting their leg to pee (a sign of starting to mark). We ended up doing it at 6 months.

| Bailey was done at 4 months. My vet said she does them depending on their weight, health and if they have dropped yet. She said each dog is individual depending on these things. Bailey was almost 6 lbs, healthy, up on all his shots, and his boys had dropped, so we had him done.

| I hold off until 6 months for the rabies, but my dogs are not exposed to others. Also, never get the puppy shot and the rabies shot at the same time. You might want to consider holding off on the neuter until 7 months if your puppy is retaining baby teeth so you could have those extracted and the neutering done at the same time and not have to put him under twice (plus you can save some money). Also always have the preop blood work done and make sure they use isoflurane gas for induction with no pre-anesthesia injection. Also consider getting him microchipped at this time. Does 2.9 mean almost 3 pounds or 2 pounds 9 oz? I would guess about 5 pounds, but you really never know. I've heard of dogs weighing this and growing over 10 pounds and I have heard of dogs weighing this and never gaining another ounce. |
