Hi Kim We just recently (about a month ago) had our 10 year old put to sleep for a teeth cleaning and it went well. We also had our 9 yr old sheltie mix neutered because of enlarged prostate which is common in older dogs. But both these dogs were in good health condition at the time of surgery even though the sheltie did have epilepsy but they used a special anesthesia for him.
I'd get a vets opinion on his health and the neutering. Donna Spoiled Doggies Online Store.
