Yes. They feel the same as before. I am bringing him to the vet to disuss this tomorrow. Everyone agrees in my house, that they are still there. I know with my schnauzer he had a small bit of skin but I for sure didn't feel anything like I do now. I will post a picture in just one minute.

I would be very upset.

I do not understand. If for any reason the Vet was doing something other than a traditional neuter, he/ she should have explained and gotten permission. Waiting for an update.

It will feel like the testicles are still there but my bet is that they are not. It is normal tissue swelling after a neuter which will disappear with time.

Yeah, I have a hard time believing a vet would do such a thing. But...you just never know I guess.

Maybe you are right. Idk, I've just never saw anything like this! My schnauzer had nothing there. So, I'm gonna give it a few days and see if it's just swelling

Tibbe's were obviously gone the night I picked him up from the vet. There was a mushy feeling to the sack where the two small testicles had been - a definite different "feel" - like some fluid. I hope somehow you are just feeling very swollen tissue - but even that doesn't sound right.

I would call the vet tomorrow anyway. If they are that swollen and the neuter was indeed done, maybe he needs to be seen.

Please update us

ladyjane · 08-25-2011, 07:42 AM

Yeah, I keep looking as well. Would be nice to hear the outcome.

MaddiesMommie · 08-25-2011, 01:46 PM

This has me curious. I was wondering they actually left them after a neuter.

Me too. Update anyone???

Teresa Ford · 08-28-2011, 05:24 PM

We don't get an update ladies. So I am guessing OP was embarrased to find out that it was a true and regular neuter. I really would like to know for sure.
