What happens if a dog gets mastitis?

What changes after a dog is neutered or spayed?
Neutering (spaying or castration) is a common pet medical procedure. It not only prevents over-breeding but also lowers the risk of reproductive-system diseases such as breast cancer, pyometra, and ovarian tumors in females, and testicular cancer and prostatitis in males. In addition, neutering removes the heat cycle, so heat-related problem behaviors disappear — including restlessness, inappropriate urination, increased aggression, running away, and excessive barking. Finally, because of hormonal changes, some dogs tend to gain weight after the procedure, so the owner should moderately reduce the dog's food intake.

Based on your description, constant bed-hiding is mainly from discomfort or anxiety. Pain or itching can sap interest in everything; anxiety or tension also causes it. Check your dog's body for abnormalities, and if it persists, see a vet.
