Answer 1

i can understand your anguish at having to have your dog castrated,we had our dog"rusty"castrated and he was happy as larry,the hardest part was after 19 years when i had to take him to the vets and let him be put to sleep
make the most of the coming years you are going to have with him,and just enjoy taking him for walks and playing with him
we have a cat who still runs to the door thinking rusty is coming back,so dont worry,cause your dogs fine by the sounds of it,after you read this,go up to him and give him a big hug,thats what animals love.....affection

Begging for food A dog may stare because it is begging for food. Dogs in the wild would stare at eating dominant dogs. Weaker dogs have to wait until the alpha dog and the other dogs higher in rank would have their fill before they can have their turn to eat the prey. Domesticated dogs would also stare at humans to beg for food. A dog that was left at home all day would stare at the master not only because of the fact that the master is home but also because the dog is anticipating a doggie bowl filled with food. The dog also stares at eating people to ask for scraps of food from the table. Staring as a sign of dominance Dominant dogs would stare at other dogs to remind the weaker ones that he is the alpha dog and the rest should do his bidding. Another dog may challenge the dominant dog by staring. This can be a violent situation as in most cases it would result to dog fights. Staring to plead A dog wanting to be taken out for a walk would whine and stare. A dog would also stare at the family preparing to go out. This action means that the dog wants to be with the family and to be a part of the activities. Owners should not ignore this behavior of the dog. A dog that is left alone will be bored and can suffer separation anxiety. For sure owners would not want this to happen as a bored dog turns into a destructive dog. If it is not possible to take the dog, leave some toys. Taking the dog for a long walk is another good idea. Staring due to a medical condition A dog may stare because it is sick. If the normally active dog suddenly become lethargic and stares blankly medical attention should be given to the dog as soon as possible as the behavior can be due to rabies, poisoning and distemper. A head injury would cause a dog to stare. These medical conditions should be given prompt attention. Cute dogs come in packs. Check out these other hubs Why do dogs lift their feet when peeing?

You must have had a good reason for your decision, concentrate on why you decided to have it done.
He's been a faithful companion to you. If anything, he's wondering what on earth HE'S done wrong, to have you not look him in the eye!
Someone told us dogs have no concept of time. You leave them for two minutes or an hour, their ecstatic greeting is the same.
Look your poor dog in the eye, you will see he still loves you as he always did. Explain why he had the op - he won't understand a word but it will make you feel better. Enjoy your faithful hound! and stop feeling so guilty!

Answer 4

Dogs aren't as aware of being "cut off" (pardon the pun) as humans are. All your dog knows is that he was sore "down there" for awhile and now has other things to do to occupy his time than licking himself. They don't take being neutered personally, honest!

Un-neutered male dogs get prostate cancer so you actually did your dog a favor by helping to extend his life.

Would you be able to look him in the eyes when he was dying from cancer knowing you could have prevented it by having him "fixed"?

By the way, human males that have been castrated are capable of getting an erection so even then "all is not lost". Once again, pardon the pun...

Answer 9

For a dog to stare you down means that he is trying to become your leader. If you just had him neutered much of his dominance drive may be gone. He's probably just being submissive. He doesn't know that he was neutered. Just enjoy your pet, he's fine. :)

Answer 10

Your dog dosn't know what happened and there is no way you can explain it to him. I have a girl dog who i got neutered and she is very happy, none the wiser. Don't feel guilty, there is no point.
