Brutus is doing much better today. He is definatly taking it easy compared to his "normal" self. He started his antibiotic and pain meds this morning. His appetite is back to normal too. He is moving around a lot better too, although you can definatly tell his hind end is sore. His butt is looking quite funny, not only are things missing, but its shaved too! :) Today he even attempted to play with Bailey although you can tell it's much more subdued than usual. He has started jumping on the chair again to look out of the window, and I've even heard him bark a little today too.
According to a response on the Rottweiler forums.... neutering at 15 months should not affect his size or maturity. Neutering after 12 months MAY decrease his chance of developing bone cancer. Intact or neutered, this breed is very prone to bone cancer, so we have to just keep our fingers crossed that Brutus has a long and wonderful life!
Also heard that I should know in about a week or so if the neutering has helped calm him down.
