Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| Ares got neutered early this AM and I picked him up at 5PM. He has been in a lot of pain since I got him, lots of whining and crying. He is having trouble sitting down and is really swollen and red down there. Does it look normal. These pics aren't the best quality since my camera is dead, but the incision is larger then Embrys was and looks irritated... |

| How old is he, The older they are when they are neutered the more painful in may be, they recommended neutering males between 5-6 months, the older they are the more tissue has to be cut out because the more developed they are. Thunder goes next month for his neuter...He has to finish all his shots first. I hope this helped, It looks a little irritated but that may be from them shaving the hair, is he wearing a cone?

| Ares is young. Not exactly sure how old. I think he was about 5 months when Jennet got him. That must have been, maybe 3 months ago (give or take). Jenett, that doesn't look like Kody's at all. This is what Kody's looked like: If he's that uncomfortable maybe take him to your vet to get it checked out? |

| Yep - I can post pics of Cato's balls for comparison if need be too.
Ashley, I recommend waiting a few months longer if possible. Neutering young come with many complications. I waited until 8 months with Cato, but in hindsight I should have waited longer. I can't go back now, but I promise myself I will wait until the growth plates close from here on out.
I can post links if you need me to. |

| Yea it does look inflamed, shaving the hair doesn't cause inflammation. I can't tell if there are sutures on the outside or if tissue glue was used. If he's still in a lot of pain and inflamed when you get home, call your vet and ask for an anti-inflamatory like Rimadyl (carprofen). If the inflammation is gradually going down but he's still in pain, a pain reliever would be what I would want. Also if it doesn't gross you out to much, I'd take his temp, a fever would indication the early stages of infection and he may need and antibiotic. A temp over 103 is high. 99.5-102.5 is normal. (not that I'm say he has one, just as a precaution ) On a side note- I think that the person that did his shave job needs a few lessons from the master lol not enough from the sides where the incision would be and not uniform lol sorry my OCD always kicks in when I prep patients for surgery |

| Brooke, they used disolvable stitches and as soon as I left the clinic from picking him up I called my vet and told them I need to pick up 5 days of Rimadyl, which they gave me. I haven't given him any yet because they didn't tell me when he got the 24hour shot of Morphine and right now he isn't in any pain..
LOL I should my teacher Ares' shave job in my vet tech class this morning and was like what the heck?! |

| Balon was done at about 5 months 3 weeks, his site didn't look quite like that. His "ball area" was very black and blue, but his incision was a little red and angry looking but not as bad as Ares. Poor guy, I'm sure like us they are all different in how they look. |
