Neuter without removing testicles? - Page 3 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Yeah, I would love to know if such a thing was really done but she shouldn't feel embarrassed if she feels that way as she honestly thought they were still there. I hope she will sign on and let us know for sure and how the dog is.

Sorry guys!!! Been super busy and I don't get on here much anymore, no time! No I am not embarassed, I'm not one to get embarrassed. Took Remy to the vet, they did remove them. The vet said they were very swollen though and very red. No infection though! But she did say it didn't look like a normal neuter because of the swelling. Anyway, he is fine and completely healed! Sorry for worrying you all, but this neuter was completely different from my schnauzer's neuter! Thanks

Thanks so much for coming back to this thread and letting us know the outcome. I'm so glad Remy is doing better and everything was taken care of.

To me it seems he would still have hormones because they didn't remove the testicles. Sorry, I am new to this and kind of aggravated that they didn't remove them or at least discussed the procedure thoroughly with me. Thanks.

I had Teddy neutered last month and thought the same thing. He had a few stiches above and it looked like his testicles were still there. I was freaking out. Like totally nerviously freaking out! It turns out that it was just the skin that was sagging and it was a little swollen from the procedure - which made it look like his testicles were still there. After about two weeks his "sack" disappeared.

Oh, good news. Glad to hear all is okay now - bless his heart he must have had a tough time of it with that much swelling. So happy all okay. Big smiles here.

Thank You for the up date. I am glad it was just swelling. I have paid my share of Vet bills because I thought something was going on. Better safe than sorry
