| Post Neuter My yorkie Fender is 7 months old and got neutered over a week ago and 4 teeth extracted. He had a hard time after the surgery but he's bounced back. He's eating and drinking normally and going to the bathroom normally. However, he seems to be a LOT calmer and likes to lay around more. He'll still go on a walk and chase leaves and play in the house, etc... but not nearly as much. Is this normal? I've heard and read places that they calm down after neutering but not this soon. Any thoughts?! |

| Gus didn't calm down immediately after neutering. There was no difference for at least 3 months. Now he's calming down a bit, but I don't know if it's due to neutering, being older, or a combination. I think it varies from pup to pup.

| Ellie seemed to calm down after her spay but after awhile (I don't know...maybe a couple months) she bounced back. Since it wasn't that long ago, I would question whether he feels okay. Has the vet seen him since surgery? Any infection?

| He is probably calmer just from feeling a little under the weather from his surgery, however the testosterone is out of his system so that could be contributing too. He will probably get some of his spunk back-but it will help to keep him from being crazy and marking/humping.
