Neutering Tomorrow. They Made Me Feel AWFUL!!!! - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Please try to ignore what others say when it is not helpful or positive, I know it is hard. But you know you are doing the best you can.

Please let us all know how he gets on... Our thoughts are with you.

I bet there are plenty of males in the family that were circumcised.... wonder why they weren't allowed to be "natural?" ... anyway...

My mom and aunt whined about me putting Scooter in a crate at night. It’s like I told them, “you wouldn’t let a baby wander around unsupervised at night.” I sleep like the dead and Scooter's a sneak, so there's no way I'm letting him run around alone at night, getting into goodness knows what. Some folks can’t see past the furry cuteness of yorkies to realize that they are real responsibilities. We have to do what’s best for them, even when it’s not comfortable for us or them, just like we would do for a child. If your family can't accept that, then just change the subject to something more constructive like...their recent weight gain (just kidding).

I’m sure everything will be fine. I was worried a lot the night before Scooter had his operation, but it ended up being no big deal. Just try to relax and get through it.

Again, like everone else. You are doing the right thing. Maybe your family doesn't realize the benefits of neutering.
When I fixed my dog, I think it was worse on me the the dog.
My thoughts and prayers

are with you and your dog.

RoxyJosMom · 10-12-2006, 04:32 PM

That's so unfair of them to judge you like that. You are doing the right thing and Bengi will be healthier because of it. Don't pay any attention to them. He can still do "what comes natural", but there won't be any problems arising from it. And don't worry, Bengi will sail thru his surgery like a trooper and you both will be much happier because of it. Sending prayers for a speedy recovery.

Marcellacml · 10-12-2006, 05:18 PM

Don't feel bad you know your doing whats best for your pup and thats what matters.

ellie81 · 10-13-2006, 06:36 AM

I just came back from the Vet. Bengi was looking at me with a face like saying "Mamma, don't leave meee!"

I know he'll be fine. They are going to pull 2 teeth and trim his nail too.
Now I'm at work and I can't concentrate, ahhhhhhhhhhh

Everything will be fine, everything will be fine...

keri1973 · 10-13-2006, 06:52 AM

He will be fine. Hopefully today will fly by for ya! Do you get to pick him up this afternoon?

Yorkiesforever · 10-13-2006, 06:53 AM

You are doing the right thing. Don't worry about the family they maybe a little old fashion or maybe a little nervous to but don't know know how to show it. He'll be fine.

I'll pick him up between 4 and 5 pm.

daisy mae06 · 10-14-2006, 10:13 AM

How is the lil guy doing today?

irishawk · 10-14-2006, 01:59 PM

Some of my family and friend didn't understand why I was neutering Howie either. When you tell them that it actually helps them live a longer healthier life it usually shuts them up. How is the little guy today??

Olivier · 10-14-2006, 02:09 PM

Don't worry about what peoples think or say .

I'll pray for him .

bettyeanne · 10-14-2006, 02:18 PM

You made the right decision for your baby. Hope he is feeling better today. We will keep little Benji in our prayers!

ellie81 · 10-14-2006, 06:30 PM

Bengi is doing pretty good. Yesterday when we came from the vet he was weak and slept most of the time. During the night, he slept by my side; I wanted to make sure he wouldn't leak himself. In the middle of the night he started to cry a little bit, so I gave him the pain medicine; after a while he went back to sleep again.
Today he did good too, but he didn't eat much; I had to leave for a couple of hours so I took him to my mom's, so she could check on him. She told me he throwed up in her couch. She said it wasn't food, but like a mucus substance. Did anybody experienced something like this? could it be the anesthesia, or the medicines he received?

susansmom · 10-15-2006, 01:33 PM

When I wanted to get my first post-wedding dog neutered my new husband said, "What! Am I next??!!??" Sometimes people just take these things too personally. We just have to ignore these emotional reactions. After 31 years of marriage my husband is now resigned to neutered dogs. He doesn't seem to identify with them anymore. And now we have a spayed female, so he sailed through that without a qualm.
