Ha ha, this thread is a year old!
Anyway, I wasn't trying to save money. The vet thought the tooth needed to come out right away because it was causing decay to a permanent tooth. I didn't want to put him under anesthesia twice in just a few months, so decided to do the neuter earlier (for health reasons, not financial). I still wish I could have waited longer (1 year), but I am comfortable with the decision. He's almost 2 now, and in great physical condition.
It was HARD to keep him quiet after the neuter! I remember laughing when the vet said to keep him quiet--yeah right! He was also cryptorchid (retained testicle), so it was more invasive than a regular neuter. Just do your best to keep him quiet. He will be all healed before you know it.
