NEED Some advice, reassurance... anything... and quick

I guess I just needed reassurance... and seeing it in black and white helps. Noba is at the vet's and will be going into surgery soon...

... I never had any doubt that getting him neutered was the right thing for him and any unborn potentials... I've always known it needed to be done... just the concern of his personality changing too much, but the reassurance you all have given me helps... I'm a first time dog owner and I don't want to screw him up!!! I was raised iwth dogs, but he is my first go at it alone!!!

Noba's home... he got home about 5 hours ago and has just woken up for the first time to go potty and had an appetite like crazy... fed him only a little at a time. He's been walking around pretty whiny and keeps falling asleep, but other than that he's good!!! The E-collar and a basset hound is the funniest sight..

Since he is so low to the ground, he can't walk with it on and I have to hold the "cone" from the top to help him navigate around... it's so funny!!!

I'm glad you made the right decision and Noba is home and doing well! When most dogs get spayed/neutered they are pretty calm when they get home, well when Nebo (husky) was neutered he was bouncing off the walls! He had to have an E-collar too, and he hated it, so he feels for you Noba!

Good for you! You did the right thing and I'm sure if he could, Noba would thank you! I doubt you'll see much personality change in him, if any at all. He'll be back to himself in a few days

here is a picture of the newly neutered Noba... he was so knocked out the first night... poor baby was shivering from the anesthesia, so I covered him up and he slept all night!
