Question on nutered puppy
My Granddaughter has a 10 month old male Chihuahua, who was neutered about a
month ago. She is concerned that the surgery was not properly done as the dog shows signs of still being capable of having an erection. I have a neutered Shih Tzu and have never seen evidence of his capability of having an erection, so we are both concerned that the surgery was not properly done. We would appreciate any insight that you might share on this condition. I have the feeling that it might take more than a month for the puppy's male hormones to subside, and that eventually this will on longer happen. Thanks so much for any thoughts that you might have to share. Our puppies are very important..... -- Penny |

An English Bullmastiff I help train shows his stuff every time he sits down, and that's one big lipstick. It's normal, so your granddaughter shouldn't worry. -- --Matt. Rocky's a Dog. |

Question on nutered puppy
Hi there, sorry I don't have time to explain in more detail, BUT, I hope this'll make things a little clearer for you. Neutering a male dog is a simple removal of the testes from the sctotal sac. All this does is make the dog (mechanically, if you like) unable to produce sperm. It is the same as a human man who has his 'tubes' 'cut' or 'tied' - only difference is that we actually remove the 'balls' on a dog, but not on men. Men, and dogs, who have been steralized are still completely able to become aroused, perform mastrubation and intercourse, and even to ejaculate - it just means there are no sperm in the fluid. Neutering CAN lower the amount of testosterone produced by the animal, which CAN lead to lowered sex drive, and less aggresive, but it is not the 'quick fix' many pet proffesionals would have you believe! That said, I neuter all my dogs, whichever sex, for many, many different reasons, and fully support anyone who makes the same descision. Hope this helps a wee bit? |

Question on nutered puppy
Thank you so much for the further explanation, it does help. My confusion
was caused by thinking that neutering dogs was less sensitive to the end result of sexual performance in dogs. That is human male performance is held to a higher priority then sexual performance in neutered dogs. Also my thinking that removal of the testes would prevent arousal. Thank you again for responding. I hope that the New Year brings you health and happiness. Regards, Penny "mojomcl" wrote in message ps.com...
