In the mid 90's, a friend had to spay her female. She started getting fat.
At that time, Abady dog food had a formula for spayed females. I got a box of it and she sprinkled it over her regular feed. It helped a lot. It had hormones or ???
Abady is NOT something I would recommend for regular feeding. But, that spay formula feed was magic. She only used it for a year or so.
I looked a little bit on the internet and I couldn't find anything. My reasoning was, if they have a spayed female formula, they would likely have a neutered male formula.. I knew someone at that time who was a distributor.
Does anyone know anything about this?

My 13 yr old spayed GSD is very high drive, normal weight and is ready for anything. If she is any example I can honestly say I noticed no changes at all when she was spayed.

Here is a statement from above:
As many other posts have already said, you will not see any negative unwanted behavioral effects on your 2 yr old after castration.
Weight gain is as stated a case of ensuring he receives sufficient exercise and there may be a need to adjust diet slightly. Testosterone has an effect on how the dog burns energy off from food so the lack of the hormone is why there is a tendency to gain weight if adjustments to exercise/diet are not made.
This is absolutely not the truth if said as a general statement. In some instances it is the truth, but most dogs neutered can be starved and run 5 miles per day and they will die fat of exhaustion. It is the biggest misconception. It is the a matter of hormonal balance and not nutritional and exercise matter. Hormones just will not release the fat for energy needs if there is such hormonal imbalance

Hodie- 
Marko, neutered at two years of age, does he look fat, lazy or lacking drive?

Genius is evident in attempts to prove majority by way of citing minority exceptions.

No....not to each their own if the well being of the animal is in question. Just because you see no ill effects does not mean they don't exist. I suppose it does not guarantee they do either but using that as a general rule is not intelligent. As stated before it causes severe hormonal problems. Also stated before....what people are not put on hormones drugs after similar operation?
