I have one year old Golden Retriever mix bred doggy. He is not neutered and since he is a mix bred, no option for mating. He is getting aggressive about humping day by day. How feasible it is to get him neutered? Can someone please help me with the pros and cons?

Hello. Yes, you can definitely go ahead with neutering. The advantages are 1. It increases the life expectancy. 2. Neutered males have a reduced risk of testicular cancers and prostate problems. 3. Neutering keeps control of hormonal changes thus by reducing aggressive behavior and they are less likely to show biting tendency. 4. Behavioral patterns like humping, mounting, or urine spraying also get controlled.

The disadvantage include weight gain. If diet and activity levels are managed, this might not become a problem.

Hello doctors/pet parents, I have a male shih tzu, 4 months old. For the first time i introduced chicken with veggies to him in small portions 2 times a day (approx 60 gms in total). On the same day i feeded quinoa (also first time) with veggies, 1 egg, kibbles etc (his daily meal plans throught out the day). Due to change in food, he had diarrhea and loose motion 5 times. I gave him pumpkin today and seems its subsided, he hasn't pooped yet. I think i might have overfed him on the day of introducing chicken. Should have done in phases and gradually. i believe quinoa (due to high fiber) might have caused the loose motion or may be chicken itself. So my question - when can i next introduce chicken to him again? Thanks.
