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.
My new puppy vomited and has watery stools and frequent urination after a food change and car ride

Senior unneutered dog, good spirits and appetite, but frequent urination about every half hour, large volume, often on the bed; ultrasound shows no reproductive inflammation, blood tests normal except mild heart failure
Increased urination in senior dogs is common; aging affects urinary and gut function, needing more water to excrete waste, and temperature changes alter intake. If drinking and urinating rise with weight loss, suspect diabetes and check glucose and urine sugar with low-sugar diet. Painful urination or genital licking suggests cystitis or urethritis; congenital or metabolic diseases like diabetes, kidney disease or Cushing's also cause it.
