I was always told that you neuter your dog, the testosterone levels will go down and your dog will calm down a bit. Now, when were these effects supposed to take place?
After Sandler got neutered, it seems like the opposite has happened with a couple of things:
1. He now growls at me when he wants to play. I didn't think that chopping his balls off was going to make him more vocal! He'll come over to me with a toy in his mouth and do this growl/bark thing that he does with our other dog when he wants to play. It's adorable, but annoying, and definitely unwelcome behavior.
2. He's gotten more ribby. It seems like his metabolism has INCREASED, unless it's an underlying issue like worms, which I've considered a possibility because he does dig and I have not yet wormed him since I've gotten him. But even then, it just seems weird that he's not maintaining weight since the operation. I'm upping his feed to probably 1/4 cup more per serving.
This is just weird. At least he's still the super lovable mamma's boy lol.
Anyone else have a similar experience?
