well some good news about blade thank god

well i got blade booked in at vets on thursday 8.45 thank god pulling my hair out ive had to borrow the money but i cant cope any longer with it. i cant go toliet without locking him i have to put him in cage when iam cooking i cant have my back turned. i hope this sorts his attuide out because his getting to big for his boots. hopfully will calm him down and stop him peeing everywhere all time bye bye nuts lol

I think it sounds like it is for the best. All the best to Blade!

Well all I can say is Jethro and Winston have both been done... and it is the best thing I ever did!

Be a brave boy for daddy Blade!

I think you've done the right thing. He will be much better for it, and both you and Zena will, too!

How many people on here thought I'd ever say something like that about neutering!

^^ haha

awww its for you own good blade! lol

Bye Bye plums....

You've done the right thing Scott don't worry it will soon all be over, must be a weight off you're shoulders.

Certainly agree you have done the right thing. Hope things settle for you soon, must be hardwork looking after two sexes with one in season...I found it hard enough fending off strays from Tinkerbell but at least at home I had a break from it! You have done so well to get this far though, so good job!

Best of luck and I hope all goes well.

It's hard, I know - been there!

He'll come out the same day & feel a bit sorry for himself till he's had a good night's sleep. Don't expect miracles overnight, though. It'll take a little while for the testosterone to leave his system, and you will still have to keep them apart! At least the night he comes home he should be too tired to bother!

ah so pleased for you,hope all goes well for him

Ive just chocked on my brew with the shock

Seriously to have a intact male and female at this time is hard work to say the least and you dont realise how hard it is on the dog

Humph!

Well blade went in this morning had a fonecall of vets his doing well bless him do happy his ok. Zena has just slept all day lol

Bet you were relieved to get that phone call.. yes for a boy the operation is really quite simple..sending him a big cuddle for when he gets home!

Great to hear that he is doing OK. Zena probably enjoyed the rest.

Glad he's doing well. Is he home yet?

GLad you got things sorted, sending blade mine and Rivers love

blade all home and settled in his not happy with the daft coller thing on its way to big for him thought about cutting a bit out so he can get a drink. put heating for him so its warm but exta bedding in for him. just worried his not drinking any water

Awww bless him. Hope he perks up soon for you. If he can't drink with it on then feel free to pull it off whilst he eats and has some drink. When you are watching him he won't have to wear it but you will have to keep a close eye on him so he doesn't get at his stitches.

ah bless him,he looks so sorry for him self .glad its all over for you,he should be ok tomorrow,dont know to much about the male op but when sasha had her's she just wanted to sleep when she got home,did'nt eat or drink till the next day sending him big hugs ><

Glad he is home. Probably cannot drink because of the collar. I had to cut Tyson's down as it kept triping him up. You can cut a good few inches off with a sharp pair of kitchen scissors without too much hassle.

Ive cut a inch and a bit off just a bit passed his nose he can drink now and his eat some scarmbled egg.

i cant belive it his running about chasing zena because zena is scared of the plastic thing and his sniffing her bum i dont get his got no nuts left lol

Hi Scott, glad to hear all when well for Blade. They really put us parents through hell sometimes don't they.

Hopefully you can now get a good nights sleep. If you don't get proper rest you won't be strong enough to cope with things. I know nag, nag but you know it 's true. I must sound like someones mother,sorry about that. I guess I just care about people can't help it please forgive me.

Take care and keep us informed on how things are going.

How long does it take for his Testosterone levels to drop

They differ and can take a couple of months so glad everything went well for him ><

Good job and looks like he will be great. I hate those cone things as well, but they get used to them after a few days. Like Gem says, it will take a bit for his testoterone to drop. It varies but can be as long as 12 weeks. Some things are in the head and not the balls though...

aww doesn't he look sad with his collar on. Although the vets gave me a collar for Winston he didn't wear it and was a good boy and didn't chew his stitches.
Yes the vet told me it can take 2 to 3 months for some male dogs to get rid of all their testosterone....the countdown begins!!

Do they take the balls out because it doesnt look like it iam sure they have only cut his pipes. I thought one of reasons getting it done so they wont get testicular cancer.

It can take a while for the skin to shrink back. If you're not sure which proceedure they've used, just give them a ring. They really should have told you beforehand though.

Oh I missed this Scott, glad all went well with Blade.

I was actually wondering how you were coping with Zena's season and that's when I saw this post.

You've done well with managing the whole situation, hopefully you are all getting some well deserved rest at last. Big hugs for trying so hard to do the right thing for your dogs. ><

its been hard its been hard for a few months its been one thing after another. i had to get him done was best for him i dont want to breed him i dont want unwanted pups and its going to be better for his future i know some people frown on it but everybody has different views. zena is next but iam waiting a couple of month for that. thanks to all the members what have helped me its been a real help
