thanks for sharing! i learned something today.

At what age did you neuter? I was thinking of waiting till 6 months. I heard that early neutering can made them bigger than nature intended. Something about the hormones been trapped.

No vets around here will do it before 6 months of age.

thats really good info, my Kuma still tries to hump my leg once in a while trying to dominate and i correct him but its one of those things i dont think he will change, we got him nuetered 6month.

well we dont know Teddy's true age. the last owner didnt care for him and she didnt want or like him-she told me he was 4 months old. i took him to the vet that week and the vet said he was at least 7 months old! he had all of his adult teeth. We got ted last June.. so, we are assuming he is just slightly over a year now (he hadnt even seen a vet or had any shots til we took him!).. and we had him fixed in February.. so he was a year old (we are guessing.

Wow...you DO learn something new everyday here, LOL! I had noticed those little lumps on Max a long time ago (haven't noticed them lately or I've just gotten used to them)...I knew they weren't his testicles, but I didnt' know what they were! Now I do! Thanks!

omg i dont want to sound stupid, but i thought the same thing after my mom had her yorkie boy neutered!! thanks for the info!

[sabrinasmom]

Learn something new every day! I would have wondered too! Thanks

My zeus squats in the middle of the yard, but if he finds a fence or a tree he hikes it. Augie still squats in the house, we are just starting outside potty.

Zeus was neutered at about 7mos old. I only see those glands when he wakes up sometimes. Not sure what he dreams about but boy oh boy does he look excited

I was just about to call my vet. I have a 7 month old yorkie and just noticed these a couple days ago. I was really worried. Thank you for posting a 'private' topic!

[Hedley]

I must admit I only knew this because I had a short haired jack russell male before Hedley, and in a short haired dog it is more obvious what is where and what it does if you know what I mean! On a short haired dog, the testicles are visible at the rear end! After neutering he has an empty scrotum! They do still cock their leg though.

Years ago when I had Uno neutered I asked the vet the same thing. I had him neutered when he was old enough to have the procedure. Then, about a year later his marking problem started. So...it can still happen. Sigh.
