& pretends i dont exist. Before he had them chopped, he used 2 run away looking for female company nearly every day. Should i have left him intact? Poor Brian. I said sorry but he just wont forgive me!

Answer 1

Dude! You've got to be kidding! Your dog will SO get over it! He's just uncomfortable and sore from his surgery. You would be too. I'm sure he's on meds that may not make him feel good, as well.

It is SO important to get your dogs spayed & neutered. Especially since "Brian" used to run away nearly every day looking for love. He would have eventually, if not already, had his way with a fertile female and then brought more dogs into this world.There are hundreds of homeless dogs in shelters already. Spaying & neutering is the ONLY way to even begin to remedy the already serious problem we have of dog over population.

He'll get over it and you will too!!

Answer 2

Awwww...Yeah I had both of my dogs fixed a few months back, one female & one male. My female dog was just a few months old and my male dog was like 5 years old. I had to get them fixed because he was mounting her 24/7!!! Anyway she was fine but he was just as you said quieter, not as playful, stayed away from me. To be honest he started behavior similar to this when I first bought my girl dog as if he was jealous. Eventually though he came around. Since she is younger she always play fights with him, and chases him around the house, and in the past 5 months he has been healthier, happier, and alot more playful. I don't know if getting another dog is the answer but I believe he'll be fine. It sounds like the wounds are still fresh...they just need some time to heal. Good Luck "Brian"

Answer 3

Poor Brian.
I do understand that realistically cats and dogs should be neutered, but there just seems something fundamentally wrong about taking away an animal's body parts to suit OUR requirements. After all, if the dog or cat as it comes isn't right for your lifestyle, then shouldn't you just not get that animal in the first place?

Answer 4

your dog will go through a state of depression. My dog did the same thing, but over time, he will cheer up. in the mean time, try making it dog heaven for him; play with him, give him treats, extra walks, and all the things doggies love. But if he keeps up his depression, (estimated more then lets say five months,) you should talk to your vet about it. Personally I think you did the right thing. Puppies are cute, but people don't realize what a hassle they can be, so they end up spoiled or in pounds. Good luck! It won't be easy. (Said from past experiences.)

Answer 5

You know, it is not funny. Some vets even put some artificial testicles, or prosthesis, to keep the dog perked up.

But it is amazing how they notice a difference, and even their personality changes.

Give it sometime, yours may either take life as an eunuch or punish you by making you pay for new, little rubber balls

Answer 6

Try putting yourself in the same position, you have taken away his main reason for living and made it awkward to sit down. Wouldn't you feel a bit miffed with someone who could do this to you? Be a sport and let him lick your balls until his own stop being sore............ You may find you like it.
I once saw a landlady of a pub who gave her dog daily public digital excercise whilst he sat on the bar and he loved it..... sat there with his tongue sticking out and breathing heavily. Lucky dog, not like your poor hound, his two main assets turned into liabilities.

Answer 7

You could have gone for the fairly new op which is done for neutering dogs. The testes are removed but in their place a pair of silverskin pickled onions are inserted. Gives a cosmetically pleasing & complete effect for the dog. However, you can't let him near a cheese sandwich for the rest of his life. Hope this helps!

Answer 8

don't worry, he'll get over it, you'll see.
just remember the reasons that made you do it and stay firm but be sure to give him time to heal, lots of love and his old personality will come back.
you've done a good thing.
you've stopped an unwanted litter taking someone by surprise and vets bill for someone who might not be in a situation to financially supply for the mum and pups and who wasn't ready to take on the responsibility of a new litter.

Answer 9

I got my dog neutered last year. He loped around the house for a couple of days, but came back to himself pretty soon. It's a big operation for a dog and he's probably still in shock, plus the change in his hormone levels. He'll forgive you when he feels better.

Answer 10

Poor Brian. Insert 2 pickled onions into his empty ball sack, that way he'll think he's got 'em back. Mind, keep him away from the cheese.
