getting my bear fixed! need help to decide! PLEASE HELP ME DECIDE WHAT TO DO! BEAR WAS 1 YEAR OLD IN DEC. COULD SOMEONE HELP ME TO DECIDE IF I SHOULD GET BEAR FIXED? DOCS SAY IT MAKES THEM HEALTHIER. HUBBY TELLS ME I SHOULDNT DO IT! WHAT ARE THE PROS AND CONS OF GETTING MY 5 POUND BEAR FIXED! ITS SCHEDULED FOR WEDS. AND IM GETTING WORRIED. I KNOW IT SOUNDS SILLY. PLUS BEAR HAS TWO EXTRA CANINE TEETH THEY WANT TO PULL AT THE SAME TIME. BABY TEETH OF COURSE. IT BOTHERS ME HES GONNA HURT ON BOTH ENDS AND DO I GIVE HIM PAIN PILLS WHEN HE COMES HOME. THEY SAID THEY WOULD GIVE HIM LIVER TEST TO MAKE SURE FIRST. HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE HIM TO HEAL AND BE NORMAL AGAIN! I ALSO BOUGHT A s**tZHU/MALTESE PUPPY ABOUT 6 WEEKS AGO THATS A MALE. AND HE PLAYS WITH BEAR REALLY HARD SO I HAVE TO KEEP THEM APART IF BEARS GETS FIXED. HE ONLY WEIGHTS 2 AND HALF POUNDS BUT HE IS A LITTLE TIGER. LOL. PLEASE CAN YOU ALL HELP ME DECIDE. FAITH AND BEAR! (:animal-paA WORRIED MOM) :confused: |
if you aren't planning to breed (responsibly breed!) then it's best to get him neutered. Males are pretty much back to normal the next day and really aren't in much pain. Spaying females is more invasive and recovery for them is a little longer but males are recovered in no time. |
I had Momo neutered when he was about 8 months old & also had his baby teeth extracted at the same time & also microchipped. He was fine the next day, I had to carry him around to keep him from running here & there & jumping everywhere. He doesn't mark anymore:D, & doesn't hump poor Mimi either:p. He did have meds, Tuburol (or something like that) I only gave it to him twice...it made him just stand there & stare into space...kinda scary, for me. He ate his kibble right away, didn't have to wet it. When Mimi had her teeth extraction, she ate wet food for a week & I had to feed her! I guess boys are tough... |
thank you! THAT HELPS ALOT! THANKS FOR ANSWERING SO FAST! IVE BEEN A LITTLE SKIDDISH OF LOOSING MY DOGS SINCE OUR HOUSE FIRE LAST YEAR, THAT TOOK MY 2 BABIES,( HONEY 9 yrs. AND TOBY 2 yrs.). SO GUESS I JUST GET A LIITLE NERVOUS. AND TO THE OTHER ANSWER, IM NOT BREEDING. MY TWO MALES KEEP ME BUSY ENOUGH! LOL! :D THANK YOU AGAIN, FAITH, BEAR:animal-pa, AND NEW ADDITION, SULLY! |
My doxie wasn't fixed until he was 5 years old. (He was a rescue.) He came home that day and acted like nothing ever happened! :) So the procedure is pretty easy on the boys. |
Baxter was about 5 months and 4 lbs. and came through like a breeze. |
Bad news I BROUGHT BEAR INTO THE VETS EARLY IN MORNING TO GET A BLOOD TEST AND TO GET NEUTERED. BEAR IS A REALLY PICKY EATER. HE HADENT BEEN DRINKING MUCH WATER AND EATING VERY GOOD UP TO 2 DAYS BEFORE AND ITS HAPPENED A COUPLE TIMES BEFORE. THE VET CALLED AND SAID HIS BUN TEST WAS 32, WHICH ISNT VERY GOOD. HIS CREATINE TEST WAS 1. SO HE DIDNT GET FIXED, THEY HYDRATED HIM AND I PICKED HIM UP AT THREE. THEY TOKE ALOT OF TESTS. HE WAS TIRED AND DOES NOT LIKE IT THERE. SO A LITTLE STRESSED. THEY SENT ME HOME WITH KINDEY DOG FOOD. CANNED AND DRY, BEAR WONT EAT THE DRY AT ALL. SO I GAVE HIM THE CANNED AND HE FINALLY ATE THAT NIGHT. IN THE MORNING HE THREW UP BILE. WHICH HE DIDNT A COUPLE TIMES IN THE PAST. BUT I DIDNT THINK TO MUCH OF IT. WELL I WAS WRONG. SO I HAVE TO WATCH HIM DRINK AND EAT THE NEW KIDNET FOOD. THEN BRING HIM IN FOR BLOOD TESTS AGAIN ON APRIL 28TH. AND PRAY HE HE GETS BETTER. I WAS A WREAK ALL DAY WAITING TO PICK HIM UP. HES DOING GOOD NOW. BUT THINK ILL WAIT TO GET HIM FIXED TILL I KNOW HES ALRIGHT. THIS IS SCARING ME . BUT HES RUNNING AND PLAYING WITH SULLY AGAIN. SO I SURE HOPE HE DOESNT HAVE A KIDNEY PROBLEM. HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE. SHE SAID IT COULD BE SOMETHING THAT IS NOTHING OR THE BEGINNING OF SOMETHING! SO IM SAYING MY PRAYERS FOR MY LITTLE BEAR! :animal-pa, FAITH |
I will keep Bear in my thoughts and prayers. I hope he does better soon. |
