In Reply to: While on the topic I have a question for whomever posted by Snakey on March 12, 2003 at 19:24:31:
Before neutering "Tash" he was 2+ yrs old and although fed as much as he could, he always had a bit of ribs and spine showing. Nothing serious, just noticeable. He just never seemed totally filled out (even though he was being fed a good quantity of eukanuba dry and wet)
Within 10 days or so after the neutering, the spine was no longer showing, and i havn't seen it since, as well as the ribs.
Hes still tiny, but much more rounded, and his hips/upper thigh muscles seem to be filled out more and completely proportionate to the rest of his body.
I must add that, his diet, exercise, etc... did not change before or after his neutering.
And that these body changes took place almost instantly.
For some reason, i have always thought the neutering/spaying leads to a healthier dog as well as adding weight. Somewhere along the lines of "stop smoking, gain weight" type thing.

:Did you notice that after spaying or neutering that the dog gained impressive amounts of fat deposits particularly around the hip and rib areas not to mention to the rest of the dog....I have seen this pattern and want to know what you think or have heard about this.
:Thanks,
