[mom to many]

I don't think you (or Rudy) will necessarily experience any *problems* being that he's older, but the recovery will probably take a bit longer...he might be a little more sore, etc than a puppy would. Just be sure he has a quiet place to recover and try to limit his activity if he has stitches (no jumping on furniture, etc).

I know several members on here (myself included) have waited until their dog was 1 before neutering/spaying and they haven't had any issues.
