I had poor Bulldog neutered today and the whole experience has left him feeling terribly disheartened.I'm tortured by guilt. He's so miserable, so not-manly, so betrayed. I feel awful - like I might go to hell for disfiguring my dog. I had no idea he would be so miserable in the hours following the "experience."
I grilled a sirloin steak for him about an hour ago. His mood lightened considerably for a few minutes after his feast, but now he's back to being sad. Did Dante mention a level of hell for dog neuterers? If so, I'll probably spend eternity there.
I'm sorry Bulldog.
Don't feel so bad about your bulldog. Most of his "miserableness" is recovering from the anesthesia. Dogs usually pop up pretty quickly after surgeries, like within 2-3 days. You did a good thing having him neutered and not making more unwanted babies. Where I live in the south, the two main animal places are getting tons of "foreclosure" pets being abandoned. We've always had our critters neutered/spayed, too, but there was one I wish I waited on; she would have been such a good mommie! We're taking our Maltese in this weekend for her operation. And don't give your dog people food. We're nearly killed our Schnauzer doing that -- lesson learned. Jackie R., shoshanah21@gmail.com
