My male was neutered last week and is doing well.  I think I remember that I need to wait 2 weeks before introducing him to my females.  Is this correct?  Is it 14 days exactly??Thanks

My vet said to wait 4 weeks.  I think it was to make sure he was all properly healed up, in addition to being infertile. He was like a little wild man when I put him in with the girls. They very quickly put him in his place.  I felt bad for him at first because he seemed intimidated. It took a little while, but he became king of the castle. They all bow to him now. He has one favorite female so he cuts her more slack than the other two. He doesn't bother the senior female. He does not like the other one and will snap at her if she tries to eat along side him.

Wow I have never heard anything longer then 2-3 weeks.  I feel 6 weeks is excessive!  Sperm don't have a life cycle that long.

Better is to ask your vet.

It is safe to wait 2-3 weeks.
