What happens when a dog is neutered?

Expert Answer

A neutered dog may show poor appetite, pain cries and lethargy, recovering as the wound heals. Heat-related irritability gives way to a gentler, clingier temperament.

Many become less active and fat, so reduce food to avoid high lipids, blood pressure and sugar.
