Uuuummm...uuuhhh...hmmmm!? I took Max to the groomers today. It was the first time I've ever taken him...they did a so-so job, but that's not what's gotten me all :confused: I picked him up, took him home and went out for a bit. When I came home I was very suprised to see........well.......a very "excited" boy. Think twigs and berries. His jingle bells were about 5 times their normal size. Ok, thats not true....I actually never even knew he had any...doesnt a neuter take them away? His twig....um....well....it was more like a log. I dont mean to be vulgar, but he has never been like this before. He came to me neutered and has never displayed any desire to be romantic. He looked at me like he was Anthony and I was his Cleopatra. Ok, so am I naive? What is a neuter??? I always thought they took away testicles. If not.....then what? Whatever he was doing, he obviously had just finished...he had semen on him. Seriously....w-what? Can someone explain this to me? |
are you positive he is neutered? When a male is neutered, his testicles are removed so he would not have any testicles if he was neutered. I'm not sure if a neutered male can get an erection and ejaculate or not...if so it wouldn't have any sperm in it...just fluids from the prostate.. The testicles would be where his scrotum is..a little sac straight down from his anus between his legs. The "balls" you are describing could be the bulbus glandis which are erectile tissue of the penis..it forms a bulb at the base of the penis and grows larger when they get an erection...it is NOT the testicles though. |
Actually they do have a way of fixing males without cutting the balls off. Sorry for the bluntness. Zues my big kitty has his testicles but was fixed. They use the shots that kill all the testosterone and sperm stuff to make babies. So my kitty is intact but his "goods" are useless. |

Because I didnt catch him in the act, I dont know if he was humping anything. The only thing he has in his pen is his bed, food/water and a couple of toys. In anyone's experience, will he start humping regularly? |
how very odd that he should suddenly "grow a pair". :D maybe give the vet a call there could be something hormonal going on. They can also neuter by just cutting the tubes (like what they do to humans!) the body continues to make testosterone and sperm but the sperm doesn't go anywhere. But I wouldn't have thought it's a very common way to neuter. |
Sorry, one more thought that I meant to put in my original post. Why now? Does this have anything to do with the trip to the groomers??? |

OK this is going to sound really stupid, but are you positive that its your dog? I know it seems really far fetched, but it might be a slight possibility. and are you sure that he was neutered when you got him? |

The only assurance I have that he was neutered is that his breeder said she did. I trust her and other YT members do too. From what I gather, she neuters/spays before she sends out pet quality yorkies. |
^OK, I see. Sorry, I'm no help! Hopefully someone can help you figure this out! :) |
That's ok, thanks Megan! :D |
Those two hard little "lumps" are NOT his testicles. It is a bulbous enlargement at the base of the penis, which contains a small bone. This is what locks the dog and bitch together in the "tie". It is NOT removed when the dog is neutered. |
