Max has always been a very mellow boy also. He was diagnosed with hydrocephalus at birth but we have since found out it was a mis diagnosis. He is a beautiful mellow easy going little fella. He was neutered about 2 weeks ago. Right from the start, after coming home, he is full of it. He jumps and romps and runs after his sister all day long. Its interesting because I always thought "getting fixed" had the opposite affect.

it can take 1-2 months after neutering for the testosterone level in the male dog to drop off, so I'd suggest that its the excitement of having been to the vets for surgery that is partially responsible for the sudden burst of activity and I agree that it should calm down reasonably soon.


Some dogs act a little "dopey" the day following surgery but with better anesthetic drugs and monitoring, that is happening less often. I agree that as long as his incision looks healthy he can resume normal activity (unless there was a cavity incision to look for a monorchid/undescended testicle)...in which case the dog should be treated as if a spay was performed, with quiet activity for about a week while internal parts heal.

That there was some kind of testosterone "surge" when the testicles were manipulated and removed! lol Q-Ball was insane for a while, but he returned to baseline and chilled.
I must say, overall, his personality didn't change a whole lot after neutering.

bounce back from it much more quickly than females. My boy was up and wanting to be crazy by the 2nd day.

You may want to consider crating him so that he doesn't injure himself or tear the stitches. He really should be kept as calm as possible.

As long as the stitches look good and there is no oozing he should be fine.



Hug your bulldog every day.
