We had our adult male Parrot neutered recently, maybe about 2 weeks ago. I was prepared for behavioral changes, but they seem to have gone the opposite direction than we expected. He's become aggressive and (strange as it may sound) rebellious - first day we had him home, he sprayed every surface he could find. That's tapered off a bit, but he does still spray, particularly when he's just gotten in trouble. He's started showing unprovoked aggression towards the dog (which I can understand, but he usually just avoided her before) and terrorizes our adult female, who is spayed.
What's going on? It's reached the point that my boyfriend wants to get rid of him, because he sprays our furniture and belongings. Our entire house smells of urine, even with all the cleaners. We've spoken to the vet about the spraying and they say it's temporary, but I'm starting to wonder. And if it truly is temporary, how long will this last and will we still have a livable house by the time it's over?
