Mojo getting NEUTERED!!!!
 

Okay, so most of you know that Mojo will be getting neutered on Monday!!! :eek: Right before Thanksgiving!!!! - boy, I didn't plan that well, did I???:rolleyes: Well, there is no turning back.....if I reschedule....it will be another year before I get the nerve up to do it again!!!:cool:

Seriously though....I am not really nervous......we really LOVE and TRUST our vet. She even said that I could stay in the room and watch him!!! Has anyone done this or had the opportunity to? I think I will pass....because I can barely stand to clip his nails.....let alone to watch him get cut on his, er, uh, you know what!!! :(

He is getting dropped off around 9am and I get to bring him home at 3:30!!! YAY!

She said that she would do her best cosmetic neuter EVER.....HA! She gave me several "stitch" options....one w/ glue where you can't tell anything was ever done, but she said that this bothers dogs and in most cases, they mess it up - I guess the glue healing causes it to itch a lot or something???:confused: What has everyone else had done?

They will clean his teeth (of course) and whatever else I want done....is there anything else that is needed while he is "out"???

I was toying w/ the idea of doing the microchip....but I just don't know...what is the word on that?? Any pros/cons...thoughts??!!!

We are grooming him on Saturday since he won't be able to have a full bath for awhile after this is done.

Can you think of anything else we need to think of, do, remind the vet, etc??

Oh, did you all read my other post where I talked about the Nauticles??? (sp)....the fake, er, you know, uh, testies??? The vet said she would order me some.....$1000!!! For those fake marbles.....I think not! He will still be our little manly stud, no matter what!!! :cool:

YAY !! he will be fine i had 4 boys done all were perfectly back to normal when i went to pick them up lol

get the glue kayko had the glue i loved it no stiches to worry about kayko didnt bother with the glue at all and believe me hes would be the one to bother with it lol also brownie and austin got the stiches and they both have alittle skin hanging down i HATE IT good thing there hairey im so scared when im grooming them that i will cut it kayko does not have this due to the glue the glue seemed to heal faster also
i pefered it to the stiches
i didnt get there teeth cleaned since they still had there baby teeth
i wanna get my boys microchiped i always forget evertime we go to the vet
my vet was honest with someones dog getting it he said he does hurt for a tiny bit when getting it done so if your gonna do it i would get it done while hes under my vet was nice enough to do austins shots while he was under since austins such a chicken lol
ive heard about the neuticals a long time ago i think its nuts (no pun intended lol)
the dog will not know the difference lol
ok im done rambleing good luck to mojo !! the boys say run now mojo while you can !! lol

Jeter had stitches and did great. The one piece of advice that I would like to pass along to you is to get a couple baby onesies. They were the BEST. They kept Jeter from messing with his stitches at all. And as an added bonus, Mojo will look absolutely adorable. ( not that he doesn't look adorable without a onesie). Jeter was kinda poopy for about a day, and then back to his old self. Here is Jeter in his onesie post-neuter.

Ok sooo Chewy is also getting neutered this Monday!!! He goes in at 8:00...I got his blood work done today. I am a bit of a mess... My vet knows how scared I am. i looked on the chart and it says that I am very nervous!!!! LOL But he is my baby... I will be praying for both our boys and please let me know how he does!!!! God Luck and God Bless!!!!:animal37

That is neat! I know Chewy will be okay. You know, I was really nervous at the first thought of Mojo actually having the appt., but the more I talked w/ the vet and the more I realized that I really trusted her, I am okay w/ it. Now, I know I will be a nervous wreck waiting for the call to come and get him on Monday, but I know he will do good and is in good hands.

Now, the new vet asst. I don't know about. She is young and doesn't really do anything but work the the front desk and shadow the doctor.....well, on Monday (this past Monday), whe weighed Mojo and said that he was 7.14lbs!!! I couldn't believe it! So, when the doctor came in, I asked about his weight....she said there was NO WAY he weighed that much and re-weighed him herself....yep.....that was WAY off.......he ws only 5.4lbs! WHEW! Now, that was a big difference and she knew I wasn't too impressed w/ that asst. Luckily, there are two good ones that have been w/ her for a long time.......YAY!

Good luck and we will chat on Monday!

I'm sure Mojo will do great! The hardest thing I found with getting Jaxon neutered was the cone he had to wear afterwards. They said to keep in on for a few days but I took it off him - he couldn't get comfortable to rest. He was really good about leaving his stitches alone and seemed his usual self after 2 days.

He'll be fine!!!! Bengi was neutered a month ago and he did just great. I know, I was freaking out too! When I brought him home he was sleepy and weak for a day and a half. Then back to normal! He was just little old Bengi!!!!

I second the onesies idea:) I put them on Starr after her spaying and they're so cute and the stitches are covered.

I'd be wary of the glue. If he has an allergic reaction to it, he'll be miserable:( It will itch for a long time. I wonder if there is some kind of test they could do (like put a little glue on him somewhere) to rule out an allergy before putting it on surgical incision?

Anway, I know that he'll do great and you'll spoil him rotten after:thumbup:

I am in the same boat or should I say Peanut is, he is getting neutered tomorrow and I am a nervous reck. I am going to have him microchipped while he is under and I am going to have the vet check out the baby teeth he is starting with the double canines. I have to drop him off at 8:30am what a mess I will be. I hate for him to feel any pain or to be scared he is my baby! I will pray for both of your boys that thing will be good for them on Monday.

My Tiger was advised NOT to put anything on . . . . . . although there weren't any stitches exposed :) . . .my VET told that me if I cover it up it might not heal as fast and could later create complications.

Jen, I am sure Mojo will be back to his usual self in no time. It sure is wrong timing though although they recover pretty fast and since there is no other dog to play with, he will get lots of undisturbed rest :thumbup:

I wish you and mojo the best of luck! :D

We'll be keeping little Mojo in our thoughts!

Good luck Mojo. I am sure everything will be fine. He will be home before you know it. It's hard not to worry. Good luck on Monday. Love to Mojo Carol & Buddy

Can I be in that boat too?? Niko is getting neutered tomorrow. I am worried, because its a new vet. Hope all goes well for Peanut, Chewy and Mojo.
Good idea on the onesies

My baby is getting neutered tomorrow, too - and today was Tucker's surgery (my boyfriend's mother's yorkie - Teddy's half-brother). I'm nervous but haven't been given the different options yet. I'm assuming they'll fill me in when I bring him in tomorrow morning ...

I trust our vet but am still on pins and needles! :aimeeyork

Awww Please pray for chewy too!!! I didn't want to start a new thread becasue I saw this one but I would feel better if I knew my YT sisters were praying!!!!

Chewy is only 4 pounds and it seems he won't get much bigger.... I thought he would be around 7 pounds but I guess as long as he is healthy I don't care.... I can't wait till it is over and done with.... He is my darling baby!!!!:(

Mojo will be on my mind all day along with Chewy and the other yorkies here that are getting done soon!!!!!

He will breeze right through. Monte was a champ when he got neutered. Best wishes to Mojo and you!!

What is everyone's take on the microchips? I haven't decided if I wanted to get this done while Mojo was "under" or not............I just can't decide??!!!

We live way out in the sticks and he is most always on a leash. Anytime we go somewhere and take him, he stays w/ us, never alone in the car or hotel room. So I just don't know......there's always (heaven forbid) that chance of something happening, but I JUST DON'T KNOW!

Grayson came to us with the micro chip, I am glad it is there so if he gets lost he will make his way back home to us!

I have seen a dog get "fixed" it was christmas day and my friend who has a few Bassett Hounds and breeds them once in while called up and said hey my dog is in labor if your not doing anything come help me should be about 12 or so pups! I thought WOW never have seen puppys born before so I head off and about an hour later trouble starts and we call the vet and rush over on Christmas!! They have to do a C-section on her doggie and call in the staff and we are all watching these pups and then due to whatever was wrong they have to spay the dog. VERY interesting to see, HOWEVER if it had been my dog I would have been a wreck as my friend was! Glad I was there for her!

I got niko microchipped as i live in an apt so any one can take him. I got it done at a animal shelter. Only $10. I would get it just in case something does happen. You know there are weird people out there.

It hurted him, he cried. After like 20 seconds he forgot all about it.

I would say go for it.

I think you should get him chipped. You never know if he'll slip out, and getting him chipped could be the difference of if he gets returned to you or not. I would definitly say it's worth it!

That is what I am thinking......"you just never know" so it is better to be safe than sorry. Plus, he will be "out" too, so he shouldn't really be affected by having it done. I have heard that sometimes the chip moves around?? Don't know if that is true or not........My DH is still not sure he approves of having that done or not......so....I'm still debating! Aurgh!

Yup better safe than sorry. I wouldnt want any thing happen to any ones baby. Here people will take the dog off the leash. :( but if something does happen there is always a way to show that he is yours. I dont think it moves around. with all his hair, i couldnt even tell he got the shot. The needle is big but the chip is tiny.


Niko wanted to say hi to everyone

I am getting chewy chiped because if he got lost and some one else found him they can take him to a vet or shelter and they can scan him and my name will come up. If he got stolen, the vet scans any new dog that comes in...( I would call all vets and shelters any way to tell them he was missing) that way the first time he went to the vet they would know he was not with his owner. Chewy will get it while he is out also which is the best way to go!

Good Luck Mojo :)
I am thinking about getting Dash done soon, the vet also said something about checking his trachea while he is under to make sure everything is fine (he doesn't sound like he has a tracheal collapse, but sometimes after running around like crazy he makes a little clicking sound...I think I am just paranoid) but I will get that checked when he is under.
