They can be done as soon as their 'bits' have dropped. This can occur any time from about 3-4 months

Hello,
if Oskar is four month old - he can be castrated at once. A bun have to be not less than 12 weeks old when it become castrated. From the twelfth until to the sixteenth week the bun have not to be seperated from other buns after the op.
After the sixteenth week most of the buns have become potent and will stay potent until six weeks after the castration. Just after six weeks you can a neutered bun (which has been older than sixteen weeks at the castration) socialize with female buns without getting baby-buns.
I mythelf have neutered two buns by my vet. Both endured the op and narcosis very good and have been fit on the following day. There have been no problems and both are as active as before.
Greetings. Kristina

any operation carries a risk unfortunately. But I think the benefits outweigh the risks, once neutered he will be able to have a partner to snuggle and play with Also as said above he can be neutered as soon as his bits have dropped, one of mine was a late developer and wasn't done till he was 5 or 6 months :shock:

hi
Hi
I agree, im glad I got pepper done, he is so close to Pebbles, they are like an old married couple :lol: Had to get him done because he kept spraying me :roll: but then I got pebbles, he was groggy for a day or so but then was back to normal, the only thing that worried me was him possibly taking his stitches out but he didnt..
