To neuter or not

[netfull 0]

Hi,

I have two terriers 1, A 4 year old Patterdale,sound, no bother whatsoever,The second a 3 year old Jack Russell Terrier,his problem is that although generally housetrained,his is inclined to piss in other parts of the house,on curtains,cupboards,kids beds,etc.these come in short bursts as if he was marking a territory so to speak,

Would neutering this dog(I don't intend to breed from him)sort this problem out?What are your general thoughts on neutering,I understand that it reduces aggression traits,which this dog is showing.Thanks Netfull.

i would never neut a dog myself just incase you may need him in the future can you not kennel him. just a sugestion.a.t.b brog

Their is an injection you can get for him that acts just like he has been castrated, not a long term solution but may give you the idea of what he would be like if he did have the opp? Just a another option but I don't think its cheap though, just something you may want to look at before making a permanent decision ,

Cheers Dave

my mate had the same problem he had the dog chopped and it came back and still pissed everywhere [ food for thought ]

The injection is "Tardak" its actually a little outdated now and contains female hormones. There is a new implant available called "Suprelorin" its a direct chemical castration and each implant lasts up to 6mths. It can be repeated as many times as necessary and when wears off is totally reversible.

 

Ask your Vet about it, if you like the results on your dog, go for the permanent option and have him castrated, if it makes no difference, it will wear off and the dog will return to how he was with no side effects at all.

I wouldn't neuter him, he'll still piss all over the place.

 

Just try and correct him when he try's to do it, if you can't do that then restrict where he goes in the house.

 

All the best with him.

To be fair, he probably wont wee everywhere after if its a dominance thing, if its behavioural then he will, which is why I suggested the implant.
