I really feel like a bad Mom

| Maybe going to your local shelter/humane society and looking at all the unwated puppies and dogs would help??
We just had Maggie, Todd's blue tick coonhound spayed. My FIL said "what, how are you going to get any puppies?!"  He means well, but just is old school in his thinking. I told him not to worry, if we need another one , I'm sure it won't be a problem finding one. (Maggie is a rescue, at 1 yr old).  |
| Just think of it as doing something that will be good for him in the future. We have to do things all that time that are "painful"...but they are for a good cause or reason.
Then spoil him with hugs and kisses and cookies when he gets home |
| Honestly, it's not so bad. Bailey was loopy from the anesthesia for one day and after that he barely even licked his stitches. You're a GOOD mom for having it done! |
| You should feel like a GOOD MOM, what you are doing is the RESPONSIBLE thing to do and a good thing!! |
| Please don't feel bad! Far from it - feel great for doing the right
thing! Look at it this way - if your dog had a lump on his nose that in the future could potentially cause him to have aggression issues or be painful, or the possibility of turning cancerous, not to mention cause a bunch of unintended puppies- you would have it removed, right? There you go. It might be a bit of a stretch to compare, but you really are doing a huge favor to your dog and others! You will be relieved when it is over and he will be back to snuff in no time. Good for you! Shellie |
| I would be celebrating! You are being responsible, your dog won't have the urge to run away each time a bitch in season scent waffs across the yard--or want to pee on quite as many spots, he'll be less likely to get into fights at the dog park, and that's one less cancer concern later on.
As Cesar says, dogs live in the moment. What happened yesterday isn't as much a concern as what is happening now. Once he gets over this little inconvenience, he'll be fine. s. |

Still, I know that as his mom you feel a tad quilty that your boy is going to have to go through this. It really is not that bad..they are groggy when they return home but within 24 hours they are their old self again! It's a more complicated surgery for the females. I've had the surgery performed 7 times within the past few years for either my furballs or fosters and not one has had any problems. I currently have two boys in my home now that will be going in for neutering and yes going to shelters makes you realize you are doing the right thing. It's natural to feel pangs of guilt perhaps but you are doing it out of love for him. Hugs to you! Marianne and the boys |
| I think you are being responsible. I'm sure he will be fine, give him hugs and kisses from us. |
