Well, I'm happy to report that our little patient T.J. is 100% recovered from his surgery.
I will say... for the record... that if you have no real reason to get your dog neutered, then don't. I know, that's totally unpolitically correct, but y'all, my heart was breaking for my sweet little dog. He was not himself for 10 days. That's a long hard recovery!
The truth of the matter is, I had no desire to breed him with another malti-mutt. And, he can't escape our yard to galavant around the neighborhood spreading his "seed".
So, why did I do it?
Because someone told me that sterilization promotes better health for dogs. But does it really?
Look, I'm not out to begin a debate about pet neutering, etc., but I found research (on ye wise Internets) that contradicts the "better health" reason. As, I'm sure I can find research that supports sterilization.
All I know is that my pup was miserable for a long time and has just now regained his spunk.
So, my thought of the day is "do your research" ahead of time before making such a big decision. I wish I had of.
Im glad T.J. is feeling better. It's so hard on the heart to know that the 4-legged family member isn't feeling well. But, Im glad to hear that T.J. is feeling better.
