Hopefully he can give you some insight on that growth.

Also, since you will be having all the pre-blood work done for his LP, your general Vet for the neuter shouldn't have to re-do it.

I think this needs to be made into a sticky~great info! I just submitted my email to see what comes back in my area. Not that I need it~~just curious. My local PAWS sells a similar certificate and my vet is in their program. I paid $65 for my boys and he did their teeth for FREE! He's the absolute very BEST! :) It did not include the blood work which was extra but still a great deal!!!!

i agree, i doubt the surgeon is going to do the neuter either. 1) because its not something they generally do unless there are complications and 2) because he will already be under for at least an hour to do both knees.

Friends of Animals is a great program. Years ago when i volunteered at the animal shelter we would recommend this program to people who adopted puppies and kittens that were too young to be fixed by the shelter. at the time the program was for animals that had been rescued or adopted. i guess its changed since then

We used the Friends of Animals cert for my brothers pit Lola. You have to make at least a $5.00 donation when you purchase the cert, and of course only certain Vet will take it, and I do believe some Vets will only go up to a certain weight (not an issue with Yorkies though). But Yes it is a Great program!

I was curious if there would be any vets in my area what accepted this certificate and was very surprised when they sent me a list of 12 animal hospitals in my immediate area! When you add that to the NAWS low cost clinic (which does Pits for $50) and PAWS that my vet particulates with there are so many choices in the Chicago area for reasonable spay/neuter. :thumbup:

I just noticed they do Microchipping for $20 too!

Just checking to see if there was any news on the testicles.

LBH 10-12-2009 06:00 PM
Oh thank you for reminding me! Got so caught up in the LP discussion that I forgot. I had them looked at today while he was with the nurses and surgeon, Dr. Erne said 1 testicle was a little bigger than the other which could eventually be problematic but otherwise they looked fine. But I do think I will ask his normal vet to get her opinion. You know how your mind plays tricks on you, when you can't remember if something was there before? Especially in that area! So I'll post again when I ask Dr. Deckard. Thanks for asking! And please share opinions if you think that it really is abnormal looking even after he said they were ok!

LBH 10-12-2009 06:03 PM
Forgot.... He wants to go ahead and neuter during the LP surgery.

I actually am not sure about his opinion on the testicles just because he is an orthopedic surgeon and that is not his specialty. So we'll definitely do a second opinion. Should I let them go ahead and neuter before another opinion?

JeanieK 10-12-2009 06:07 PM
Well if the Dr says they look OK then I guess I would not worry. Glad they can do both surgeries at once. That will save you some money. The poor little guy is going to fell like he was hit by a truck.

good luck to you on everything.

LBH 10-12-2009 06:53 PM
I know, he will -I'm going to be making this up to him for a long time haha! Thanks for everything, I'll be a posting fool on Thursday!

luvfla 10-13-2009 02:33 AM
Poor little guy....yep you are going to owe him....BIG TIME!

Keep us posted on his progress!

chandracz 10-13-2009 01:35 PM
poor little guy! I hope all goes well but that price does seem very steep!

Ticks
 
Did you get a Lyme shot for him because of the ticks? If not, ask your Vet. about it. My Yorkie got bit by a ticks and got the bullseye rash, so my Vet. gave him a Lyme shot plus antibiotics.

Moose's normal vet did reccomend a round of antibiotics after our tick struggle, but she didnt talk about a shot- sounds like a good idea though! Moose is already on antibiotics for his lp surgery for the next 7 days so I'm going to call his normal vet Monday to see when we should start those she suggested. He's never had a single tick until this year!

I have a male Yellow Lab that is not neutered, his testicles look like that every now and then. My vet said it just they way they are resting in the sack and the cool floor can make a difference as well.;) He loves to sleep spread eagle for all to see :p. But they look just like the picture your posted.

Thanks! Sometimes I start thinking "did that look that way before?" haha. Paranoid mom syndrome! The vet did say that there were normal looking; he was neutered along with his LP surgery last week so they definitely don't look that way right now! Poor guy, 2 hind legs and neutering surgery, I owe him big time.
