[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That is WAY too young.  I doubt you will find a vet that will agree to do it at that age.[/quote]

Eight months old is totally normal. Of course a vet will neuter at that age.

Your puppy will be super groggy for a day or two after the surgery. After that you can probably walk him and do low activity sorts of things. Don't play ball or get him riled up. Maybe get him some mental stimulation games like puzzle toys.

In my experience all my pets have rested basically on their own after the surgery, and then after that we can be active - just not hyperactive. Hopefully your pup is that easy, too.[/quote]

OP here.   Yes, I checked with the vet and since my dog is a medium breed, the vet is fine with neutering him at 6 months.   I'm waiting til he's 8 months so I can stay home with him and focus on him if necessary.   It's encouraging to know that they guide their own activity levels and it won't necessarily be the whole two weeks.

Thanks.[/quote]
