[QUOTE="DazedandConfused, post: 592878, member: 831"] I've had several dogs both neutered and spayed. Spaying, overall, is much more invasive (It's a doggie version of a hysterectomy) so it takes more time to recover and heal. Both my dogs took a couple of days just to recover from being under anesthesia and come out of the fog. They were good about leaving the incision alone to heal, though. I did have one male who had a difficult time when being neutered because one of his testicles never "dropped" and the vet had to perform a more invasive procedure to go get it. Then, he had an allergic reaction to the suture material which made him look like he swallowed a football. Of course, this happened on a Friday night and the only vet was an emergency vet place that wanted $$$ upfront just to look at him. Then, another surgery just to find out what was causing the swelling (allergies). Then, drains and more vet visits. So, in my experience, neutering CAN possibly be more complicated and expensive. Oy!
