[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How old? There is new research explaining that castration is better done after bone growth is complete (1.5 to 2 years, depending on the size of the breed). That is usually AFTER sexual maturation, BTW, so you have to keep an eye on your pet during the period between sexual maturation and end of bone growth. Bones do not all grow at the same rate, and lack of hormones will cause some to elongate while others have already finished growing, thereby causing un-natural tension on some joints, and increasing risks of neuromuscular injuries later in the dog's life.
