| Any surgery carries a risk. If you have had blood work done and he's a good size and weight he should be fine. Hopefully you know your vet and that he is familiar with small breed dogs. |

| I had Harley neutered in May and he was fine, as long as you trust your vet ,do the necessary pre-op bloodwork there shouldnt be a problem.Neutering and spaying is one of the most common procedures a vet does,he may feel a little groggy for a day or so,but then he will be bouncing around again before you know it!!. Good luck.

| Sammy was neutered at 5 months. He was fine like 2 days after. They should do bloodwork to make sure he is ok with that. Please remember though that there is a risk, so talk to your vet and have him reassure you, give you stats, whatever will make you and her conmfortable. |

| Max had his op last Tuesday and had two teeth removed too. He has been full of enery, yesterday and today. It's been very hard to try and keep him rested. I've had to hide his teddy too, and give him a telling off for attaching himself to my leg. Randy little devil. I might just ask the vet for a refund when he goes on Monday for his check-up lol. |
