Yeah, talk to your vet about Mojo if you're not going to breed. I don't think 3 is too old at all.
Thanks for the info.......I have never heard of this before, but I will be checking it out! There are so many pros/cons to everything - it makes it hard to decide what is right and not right to do or not do!

I hope your little guy is okay and gets better! Sending him hugs & kisses!
