My Aussie, Twister, gained weight after he got neutered. He didn't gain real fast though, it took him a while. The vet told me to cut back on his food and treats. I did and, after about a year of reducing his food intake, he is finally at a good weight. He has hip dysplasia so he can't do too much in the form of exercise. I think that's another reason he gained weight. But I did notice it started after him being fixed. It happens to a lot of dogs, but not all. They all have different metabolisms like we do. Stefanie

Anyone else had this happen? Is it common? My other little boy Chip didn’t. Thanks Venus
