Vi har bokat tid hos veterinaren imorgon. Thor ska kastreras. Vi ville egentligen ha valpar fran Thor. Han kommer fran en lang rad av champions och hans farger ar ovanliga, men vi bor i New York sa det blir lattare sahar.
Det gor ont i mitt hjarta att behova gora sa mot honom, men jag har last pa om alla fordelar med det och det kanns som ratt val. Daremot kan vi nu i sista stund inte bestamma oss for om imorgon ar basta dagen. Vi ska till Chicago pa lordag och det ar bra om vi far det gjort innan och en fordel blir att han ar trott for sin flygresa. En nackdel blir att han maste ha en tratt under hela semestern och han kommer inte kunna springa runt sa mycket. Vi kan inte bestamma oss. Anledningen till att vi inte har gjort det innan ar for att veterinaren ville vanta tills alla tander ar ute for om de behover dra ut nagon tand kan de gora allt pa samma gang nar han ar nedsovd. Varfor vi nu vill gora det iaf ar for att jag aker till Sverige kort efter resan till Chicago och da kanske vi maste ha Thor pa hunddagis och det ar inte sakert att de tar emot honom om han inte ar kastrerad. Svara val och beslut maste tas under dagen.
Ni som har hundar, hur tanker ni kring kastrering? Vad har ni for erfarenhet av recovery efterat?

We have made an appointment with the vet tomorrow. Thor is getting neutered. We actually wanted puppies from Thor. He comes from a long line of champions and his colors is rare, but we live in New York so its easier this way. 
It brakes my heart that we have to do that to him, but I’ve read about all the benefits of it and it feels like the right choice. But we can now not decide if tomorrow is the best day. We are going to Chicago on Saturday and it’s good if we can get it done before and one benefit is that he will be tired for his flight. One drawback is that he has to wear a collar during the whole vacation and he can not run around that much. We can not decide. The reason for why we haven’t done it before is because the vet wanted to wait until all his teeth is out in case they need to drag one out they can do it all at once when he is sedated. Why we now want to do it anyway is because I’m going to Sweden shortly after the trip to Chicago and then we might need to have Thor at a doggy daycare and it’s not for sure they can take him if he’s not neutered. Hard choices and decisions has to be made today.
You who have dogs, what’s your thoughts around neutering? What experiences do you have of the recovery after it?
