I’ve been trying to read up on this and it seems like the general agreement is that you’d rather have your male dogs neutered than not regardless of size. My uncle (who we got Coco from) said it’s “better not to neuter small dogs because according to our vet it can cause possible heart problems in this breed due to weight gain.” I am not sure although this would seem to make some sense.
I’ve tried to get other opinions but it’s hard to get a straight answer since I live in a sort-of 3rd world country and I’m not sure which vet is right. My current vet said there’s some low risk but it’s ultimately up to us the owners and that generally there are very few complications.
Coco is now close to 2 years old and I’m wondering if it’s OK to neuter him at this stage. We want to because he marks a LOT of territory indoors (gotten better over the months) and also he got an older dog pregnant who then had to be put down and we want to ensure this can’t happen again. Am I doing the right thing by getting him neutered? Below is he:
Any advice is greatly welcome and appreciated!
