After Neutered - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Hello, my yorkie had his neuter 2 days ago, and he is doing fine now, he plays, eats and sleep well. However, I saw him humping his little toy just now, isnt it weird? I mean he is neutered and he should not be humping anything, right?
I called the clinic, but they are closed during the weekend. Can someone tell me if this is very unusual?
Thanks.

I've heard of many people whose males still hump after neutering. Lucky you to be one of those people!

Oh yes they still hump, surprising 2 days after surgery! That would make a grown man,, wince!
Bailey does it every now and then, sometimes it's aggression, sometimes it's about dominance,,and sometimes, I have NO idea!

I also think that it takes time to get the harmones out of his system.

You are right. Hormones are still in the brain, even if not produced anymore. Plus, the dog had been conditioned to receive pleasure through humping. Now, he has to work backwards -- 'no pleasure in humping'. It might take a bit. But eventually they stop, or at least do it extremely rare.
But he is quite a stud going at it 2 days after!

Lots of neutered dogs still hump. Both of mine do...one more than the other. Even some females hump.

It may just be a dominance thing now not so much a hormonal thing. You know, sort of like females that do the whole humping thing? I have a female that tries to hump everything in sight when we come home from visiting my mom's. It's like she has to show the toys that she's boss. Weird.

Poncho did the same thing. It's been 2 1/2 years now
and he's still at it. I guess some do it, and some don't.
