Thread: Herbie was neutered today

Finally took Herbie to the vet to be 'done' today. He was as good as gold, didn't make a sound, took it all in his stride. So they all loved him. I gave him a good brush last night so he was super-silky for his appointment!

When we went to pick him up this afternoon they checked him and found his wound was weeping slightly. So they kept him in a bit longer to sedate him and apply some tissue glue to help close the wound. We went back later to pick him up. They said that the usual tying-off procedure was not sufficient because 'his testicles are so large', tee-hee!

He's groggy but has eaten lots of chicken for tea and is quite happy.
He has started to do a new thing though - dip his paw into the water dish and slosh the water all over the floor. And again with the other paw. And then not drink it! If this goes on I might have to get a water fountain....
