all my dogs have been castrated i have 2 rotties and a lab, i never had any problems with them being castrated at all, its the silly buster collar they have to wear afterwards, there a little groggy for a day or so after but they are back to there normal self very quickly.
it does reduce aggressiveness and generally calms the dog down over a period of time.
i felt guilty having them done but i don't regret it now.

The dog won't really hurt. The anesthesia will make him very groogy and his eyes (at least my dogs) were red. They'll sleep and when mine drank water after the first few hours after being brought home they vomited. After about three days the dog will be up and around. The stitches they use usually self dissolve. Just keep an eye on him because they have a tendency to nibble at the sutures because they itch.
However...don't feel badly. He'll be right as rain in a few days and after a week he'll be his same old self.

The scrotum is often swollen in the first few days after surgery, leading some people to wonder if the procedure was really performed. If the dog is immature at the time of neutering, the empty scrotum will flatten out as he grows. If he is mature at the time of neuter, the empty scrotum will remain as a flap of skin. Sometimes the incision is mildly bruised but this is not unduly sore for the dog and pain relief is almost never necessary post neuter. Most male dogs are eager to play by the day after surgery but, to keep the incision intact, it is best to restrict the dog from boistrous activity.There are several health benefits to neutering. One of the most important concerns the prostate gland, which under the influence of testosterone will gradually enlarge over the course of the dog’s life. In age, it is likely to become uncomfortable, possibly being large enough to interfere w/defecation. The prostate under the influence of testosterone is also predisposed to infection which is almost impossible to clear up without neutering. Neutering causes the prostate to shrink into insignificance thus preventing both prostatitis as well as the uncomfortable benign hyperplasia (enlargement) that occurs with aging. It is often erroneously held that neutering prevents prostate cancer but this is not true.
Other health benefits of neutering include the prevention of certain types of hernias and tumors of the testicles and anus. Excessive preputial discharge is also reduced by neutering.
The only behavior changes that are observed after neutering relate to behaviors influenced by male hormones. Playfulness, friendliness, and socialization with humans are not changed. The behaviors that change are far less desirable. The interest in roaming is eliminated in 90% of neutered dogs. Aggressive behavior against other male dogs is eliminated in 60% of neutered dogs. Urine marking is eliminated in 50% of neutered male dogs. Inappropriate mounting is eliminated in 70% of neutered dogs.Please don't feel bad,you are doing your dog a favour,look at the health benefits! You are also saving many animals lives by NOT adding to pet overpopulation!! Good for you!!!

Unlike the human men who anthropomorphize neuter surgery, dogs don't care. Testicles are only important when there is a female in season -- otherwise they're nothing but trouble. ;)
Your dog will be woozy from anesthesia, and probably a little sore for a few days, but he will bounce right back as if nothing happened. The surgery is simple and relatively uninvasive.
You're doing the right thing! Neutered males live longer, happier lives. Less risk of cancer, no escaping to chase girls, no lifting their legs on everything in the house.

Gentlemen, you need to stop identifying so deeply with your dog's sex organs. Honestly. It's a dog. He won't care. He won't have to "forgive" you because there's nothing to forgive.
Being so wrapped up in your dog's balls is really creepy, guys. It's not YOUR nuts we're talking about here, so why do you care so very very much?
For the last time: Dog sexuality is not AT ALL like human sexuality. It is nothing more than an instintual urge or drive (and I really hope, men, that sex for you is more than just a biological urge) to pass on their genes. They don't give a crap about having a relationship with a female, they don't give a crap about having kids, they don't have any idea what it means to be "male" or "female". They smell a ***** in heat, something goes off in their head, they will then do ANYTHING in order to mate with the ***** because it is pure instinct. Having done that, they'll go on their merry way. Their work is done. They have no way of understanding any of this. For them it's like pooping or eating--something that has to be done, so they do it.
Every minute of every single day of ever year in this country, six unwanted dogs and cats are KILLED because there are no homes for them. Why? Where do all these pets come from? They come from STUPID IGNORANT MORONS who are so terrified of losing their own masculinity that they project that on to their dogs and don't get them neutered!
Get a grip guys. Stop being selfish losers who lack such confidence in your own sexuality that you make your dog live his entire life as a slave to his instincts rather than just being able to relax and be a dog, and at the same time ensuring that pet overpopulation in this country remains a daily tragedy.

You are doing a good thing. Having your dog neutered will prevent unwanted pups and also will keep your dog healthier and less likely to get into fights with other males when a female is in season. Some men do have an aversion to getting their male dogs fixed. It is apparently a male ego thing I guess. They don't seem to mind getting the females spayed!

Castrated???? What the hell are you doing to your dog??? Why do you have no choice? Of course it will feel it, it'll probably be a differently behaved dog as well. Perhaps neutering is what you mean??

Just like humans, the surgery will hurt for a bit until it heals. Then your dog will calm down a bit, and gain some weight. He will be fine! There are some men out there that should be casterated as well!! Lol!

What do you think . . . . ? He may avoid you for a little while .
But dogs forgive quickly .
Dogs i have had " neutered" tend to stay closer to home ,
gain weight , less aggressive .
* if not neutered properly ...your dog may still get excited around a
female dog in ' heat ' > go through the motions
> nerve endings must be burn
* having your pet neutered are spaded is wise ...

We tend to think of dog training as a series of steps for teaching particular behaviors. To teach a dog to stay in a particular position, you reward her as she remains in place for gradually longer times, at gradually greater distances, with gradually increasing degrees of distraction.

Now, this is fine, training does involve teaching dogs specific behaviors with a step-by-step approach. This week, though, I’m going to discuss three mental habits that will not only enable you train more effectively but also make life pleasant for both you and your dog.
