“One thing that brought up here is the early neutering which I didn’t know , I’m reading this lab guide “Your labrador retriever puppy month by month” and the section about neutering is on 7 month stage. Well now I am very concerned that I did a mistake… can someone give me second opinion” ?
Please don’t stress about it. It sounds like you have a vet that you trust, let him advise you.
I have never been able to make it past 9 months with a male dog that I had to have neutered, as they get into trouble, going after females, humping everything that moves….and what if you have to board them? They go nuts with all the different female smells at a kennel.
Regarding females, have you ever seen a female dog that has not been altered go through a false pregnancy? Yes, it happens and it is not pretty.
These situations are stressful for dogs, my small breed male that I chose not to neuter developed testicular cancer at the age of 11 and had to be neutered late in life.
So, there are other factors to consider. Talk to your vet, they forget everyone doesn’t have a medical background, ask him to explain his rationale for procedures and diet recommendations.
Best of luck.
