    Make sure your boy is kept quiet and is not too active as I had a boy that opened up a couple of his stitches and had to go the emergency vet! Of course, this was at night when the regular vet was not open! He was an older pup/young adult and had undescended testicles. Jennifer

    I've come to this thread pretty late and all the advice has been given but I would like to say Fran that I think you've come to the right decison to wait a while until growth is complete. There are many myths about neutering that are accepted even by vets. I've seen neutering at 6 months reccommended as routine.

    yes, that is wayyy to skinny. Get your full records from the current vet and get a second opinion immediately. Increase the protein and carbs in dog foos. May require swithcing the food he in on. Here is a good website to compare the content of food. Stay in level one or level two foods. http://www.dogfoodproject.com/index.php?page=grain_free Here is a website to look at, view the content of diffrent foods. For good weightgain, I suggest switching to Natures Balance Sweet pot. and fish- my dogs were picky too, but they love this food. It smells like fish so much they gobble it up. Buy a small bag and test it out first. Feed as treats, then start integratig it into your food. Here is a good link for how to switch dog foods if you need it: http://www.ehow.com/how_2020381_switch-dogs-food.html When they are being extremely picky, poke a hole in a fish oil capsule and squeeze over the food. Its great for them, bones, joints, skin, ec…. and makes them eat it all! Also- supplement with "Nutrical" a puppy supplement with high protein for muscle growth. I still have to use it on my 5 year old because he just wont eat.
