Hi there, I just came back from the vet. Brought Rascal for Pre-checkup before the surgery on Friday. The doctor took his blood test. He will let me know the result tmr as it was too late. Hope my boy will still be as cheerful and active as before after the op.

Dear Kelly, Thank you very much .. Definitely will give my little boy a big hug.

Hi thanks... just abit worry... the nurse told me the doctor is on Afternoon leave. Due to he is on half day leave, he will decide if to operate Rascal ... before OPeration rascal, he got to do some blood test on Rascal make sure he is perfectly fit for operation. I think my heart will up down up down that day

Hi There, Thank you very much, I am bringing Rascal to vet this friday. Do you guy know how long will the operation be?

FYI, most of us live in urban areas and the responsible ones do not let our dogs out of the house to roam - there are dangers, such as being hit by a car, stolen, getting lost and starving... We also have to leash our dogs in public. Can I ask, how large are your dog parks? Let's say you're on one side, your dog is on the other, getting himself attached to a bitch in heat. How fast could you run over to detach them? Chances are, not fast enough to prevent impregnation. Does this make you an irresponsible owner? Of course it does - you have the opportunity NOW to prevent this. If you don't take the opportunity you are irresponsible. Please, visit an animal shelter, and see how many unwanted dogs are there due to "accidents" caused by undesexed dogs. hmmm... the park is the size of a basketball field ;o... next time when i go there.. take a pic of it show you guys

I think more or less after getting the information here.. i am quite set to desex him. I am taking a day off to bring him to vet this friday.

Thanks... for assuring me that if will not affect his manhood. By the way, i am 100% sure to follow my dog because the park is small.. i always run with him ...

Even if you take your dog to the vet DAILY for a checkup, it will not minimise the chances of illness, at most the illness will be diagnosed sooner. In the years that my dog was entire he always had at least annual checkups, and I can never once remember him having his Prostate checked Can I ask, why you would ever put your dog at ANY risk if the prevention was so easy? I also not sure.. i am so miserable. When i told my family and friends i want to desex him, they said i am cruel -____-.. they said i took away his manhood pleasure. they said i am making him Gay -___-...

I just made appointment to visit a vet this friday. Will seek for his advice. here is pics of my boy.. http://www.dolforums.com.au/index.php?showtopic=63742

Hi, Thank you very much. I am really in a very struggling situation. I very worry my decision will bring him harm That;s why i post the question here. Hope i did nto offend anyne here. The avator pic is not Rascsal. Her name is cherish. Just passed away during 08 Jan 2006. That time she was 16yrs old. She is forever my beloved.

Oh ok.. that mean if dun desex a male dog, there is always higher chance to get illness/cancer. What if every year i bring my dog for annual checkup? Will this minimise the chances?

Let's not talk about impregnates another dog. I am very sure this will not happen. 100% sure. I am in singapore. Not like u guys who live in big country have big field for your dogs to run freely. or just let your dog in out of the house freely. Over here, i have to lease my dogs in public. If want him to run freely got to bring him to a Dog Park. And whenever I bring my dog to the park to run I am always around. My question is.. if don't desex him, will he have chances to get cancer in old age? I dont think it is irresponsible not to desex... that's only apply to those irresponsible owners. And i doubt so i am one of them.

Well i am not breeding. Just that if don't desex will not cause any health problem. I will choose not to desex...

I am struggling if to desex my male maltese which is 1.5yrs old going to 2 at this september. If i did nto desex him, will there be alot of health problem during old age?
