Fatboy is going in to get fixed this weekend.

He is now 4 years old. How old is "too old" when going under? I don't know why I waited so long. And what should I expect after?

I bet he thinks he isn't broken!

LOL! It is for the best, really. Less likely to get any male cancer issues. I have neutered older dogs, never had any issues at all. Male dogs are much easier to do that type surgery on at older ages than females being spayed.

Good luck Fatboy

You might have to wear the cone of shame for a bit. Tucker feels for you. Good luck ;)

Awww....Fatboy will be okayyy.... Meaty's "coin purse" was

done when he was a little over 2 years old, (I realize your baby is a bit older)......and he did just FINE!!!  :-)    It always amaaazes me that some bullies need one of those cones to keep them from licking-----there is NO WAY Meaty could lick his  "coin purse".....(sorry, I learned that here (I think), annnnd it's pretty accurate!)  hee hee.......Same with Sophie....NO WAY she could lick her incision after her spay....but I guess **SOME** bullies can???


ANYHOOOO, prayers that he'll be okay.....sweet guy---!!!!
