Why is my dog acting weird after being neutered? Pet owners get their dogs neutered if male or spayed if female for a multitude of reasons. Many engage in this activity to avoid puppies, while others do so for the benefits such procedures may provide.

Others do because the shelter that the animal was adopted from legally mandates it.

Why Is My Dog Acting Weird After Being Neutered?

Regardless of circumstance, this practice is a requirement for responsible ownership. There is one more reason that many people have dogs neutered: the hope that it curtails rambunctious behaviors or alters their pet’s personalities.

Neutering is a term used to describe how male dogs get their genital region sterilized, particularly the scrotum. At such a pointncisions get made in the front side near the penis base, with both testicles being removed and spermatic cords tied off.

It’s true that spaying and neutering trigger changes in personality for a dog. While these don’t always occur and are not always predictable, they are something to keep in mind when considering fixing the dog.

Normally, a male will experience far more behavioral changes than females following an operation.

Some of the most common reactions including the ceasing of humping and mounting other dogs, the legs, and inanimate objects once neutered. Others will do so from time to time, especially if neutered late in life.

Dogs act weird after neutering because they will be less likely to wander in search of romance after neutering, which can be especially helpful for pooches that always seem ready to bolt when opening a door or escaping from their backyard.

Dog Acting Weird After Being Neutered

Males Are Less Likely To Urinate Around A House After Neutering

This does not always mean that poorly trained dogs will suddenly wait to go outside before having to pee, but it will certainly reduce the likelihood that they will mark their territory. Many male dogs exhibit less aggression, but this only works when they are neutered early in life.

Note that the items mentioned earlier are long-term changes that manifest over months or weeks following an operation. However, following a neutering operation a short-term change could be expected.

Several of the most common include lethargy, confusion, alterations in appetite, mild depression or anxiety, increased clinginess, excessive sleepiness, and bathroom accidents.

Most short-term issues resolve within a day, and many are likely to be a result of anesthetic wearing off instead of the neutering procedure itself. Do not hesitate to contact a licensed professional if symptoms persist or the dog continues acting weird.

Following a Standard Procedure

Most dogs will experience some soreness. While this often lasts a day or two, it can last as long as a week in several cases. Veterinarians like to prescribe canine-friendly medication to comfort them over the process of recovery.

Those on the painkiller side usually prescribe them to eliminate as much pain as possible and help dogs rest comfortably when healing. Conversely, those that do not prescribe them do so with the argument that the dog is discouraged from moving around more than needed and helps keep them calm while healing.

Although the general trend favors using pain medications following surgery, many vets still believe in a natural process. Be sure to speak with a vet before the procedure and ask them about their thoughts regarding managing this pain.

Some will be willing to adjust procedures to suit wishes, but others will remain stubborn and refuse to adjust practices.

Final Words

Any form of surgery could produce questionable results to the body, especially when placed under anesthesia. Furthermore, altered dogs can display slower metabolisms and increased appetites, therefore at risk of obesity.

Aside from managing unwanted offspring, the majority of veterinarians recommend such procedures because they provide several key benefits. The greatest reason for neutering, is to reduce the rate of hernias, cancer, tumors, and prostate disease. Still, the dog may act weird.
