castration day

Boycie goes to the vests for his operation on wednesday and the nearer it gets the more i think if i am doing the right thing? my main concern is will it change his temprement in any way? thanks in advance for your help

Hope all goes well. I've always had girlies so don't have any personal experience. From what I've heard sometimes it calms them down a bit but not always. There are lots of members here that have males though so someone will be along with some words of wisdom.

It's very hard to tell if it'll change his temperament. It really depends on whether he is mentally mature or not. Some are at 16 months, some aren't.

Both mine were neutered young 6 and 7 months and have not shown any ill effects from it either mentally or physically, in actual fact i dont no of any dogs who have had ANY ill effects of neutering (although of course some do) and i work in a rescue centre and have seen hundreds of dogs come and go and had the operation! Dont worry he will be fine!

Well he has gone in for his operation this morning he looked so sad when I left the consultation room and he started to cry as i was walking out the door.think he thought not another owner leaving me no chance mate i will be back for you later i said to him. your with me for life.

Ah, poor little guy.

But don't worry, he'll be back safe & sound before you know it!

Hope he comes out of the operation okay. Good luck keeping him calm and the stitches dry

Hugs to you, he'll be back in no time Trying to keep him still after the op, now thats another story!! Xx

he will be back soon, dont worry

><

give him a big hug from me

Good luck with that!!

He will be just fine, no worries. Big hugs from Rocky and me ><

How did it all go................................. Xx

He will be fine. Might calm him, might not. Hope he is doing well now!

I got Saxon neutered at 6 months and he has an absolutely wonderful temperament. You don't have to worry about the temperament changing.

Boycie is back home with me He is still very sleepy at the moment and not to sure of whats going on so I am staying up with him tonight to reasure him and keep him warm.Thank you all for the messages of support they helped a lot.

Hope he makes a speedy recovery.

Bless him, get well soon Boycie

awww look at the little sleepy head..

Jethro was desexed at 6 months and Winston was just desexed 2 weeks ago... it is such a simple operation for boys. Jethro is now a happy and healthy 12 and a half year old.. you did the right thing.

He looks so cozy there, hope he's feeling better soon

had my dog diesel done wednesday also, and honestly looks a spitting image of boycie and around same age, mad, well diesel has not changed a bit, hes taken the paint off my doors with that cone and jumping around like hes had nothing done at all, how his stitches are still intact il never know, hope boycie ok,,,
