Dear Marsha I have also been stuck in the neutering quandary with my boy. It was scheduled but his pre-surgery blood showed his BUN too high, then it was constant RS, then his being compromised with Lymes. So I have had to keep putting it off. So of course I am paying close attention to this thread and the discussion. My guy is a saint (st henry LOL) he occassionally humps his teddy but is as obedient as a boy could be (we do agility etc), never aggressive, no leg lifting and cannot run away (never has tried, but I know it only takes once). I asked at Cornell regarding the health benefits and beyond the usual behavior issues, population control, and testicular cancer, it seemed his life was not improved in any way nor his health insured because of doing it. Please know (I think anyone who knows me on here will attest) I would do anything for this guy to keep him well and want nothing less than that for him. Please share (I'm sure this is the 1,000 th time) your reasons beyond behavior that this needs to be done. I am ready to do it because society thinks it should be but in my heart am not really convinced enough to put him through it. Thanks a million! best, michelle and henry in the beautiful Catskill Mountains, NY
