I'm looking at this poor, innocent little creature; knowing he has an appointment Monday morning to be neutered. I feel so guilty about it. But I have a female boxer also (not related), due to come in heat sometime next month. Both are one year old.
Sigh ... is it a good thing or bad to do?
it depends on if you want puppies or not.
Well we were excited about having one litter with these little "mugs", but now that BuddyRey left us so suddenly; the thrill is gone. I just feel so guilty looking into his eyes knowing what his ordeal will be like on Monday. But, the world is over crowded with animals right now, so probably the best thing to do.

What? So you want to see a lot of dogs who are missing their balls? At least this way, nobody is the wiser.Originally Posted by William Tell
omg, that puppy in the picture on the right with the lady with long black hair, looks just like my little Monday victim.You can minimize the shock of noticing something's missing, by using these.....

I've been trying to save up the money to have a cat neutered, and have thus far not been able to. I am now overrun with baby cats.
Oh I don't mind neutering... but at least they should put something back so he has something to lick.
Put yourself in the mind of the dog.......
Imagine going to sleep and waking up and you go to do your usual hygiene and suddenly notice your junk is gone. Imagine the panic and the despair. What a shock!
Best to just eliminate the risk of this happening. Use those Neuticles and it's like nothing ever happened.
Besides controlling unwanted births, neutering a dog can correct negative sexual behaviors and makes them more docile. The lack of produced testosterone from the testicles can create a greater percent likelihood of hip and elbow dysplasia according to some studies. I have a St. Bernard that is now 5 months old. I intend to put off neutering as long as possible, as this breed already has a higher presentation with dysplasia than many other breeds.
I waited till he was a full two years old. I wanted to make sure he was done growing.
Here is a picture of him chill-en.....

Dammit. I want to get a boxer for my girl, but I can't have a dog where I am right now.
They're great dogs, I can't advise you either way, it depends on your circumstances.

When I had my two male cats neutered, I waited until I absolutely had to do it and then took them to the vet. By absolutely, I mean right after their first spray. lol. When I brought them home, they acted like nothing had happened. They were just running all over the place, playing, the moment I got them out of the carrier.
I think we have more emotion over it than the pets do.

Personally, I miss seeing balls on a dog.
Yeah, but what I'd like to miss more is seeing thousands upon thousands of unwanted dogs and cats euthanized, because so many people didn't neuter/spay their pets and if not, were not responsible for the outcome.

ya know.. I have no idea why they don't just snip the tubes on critters like when women get their tubes tied or men go for a vasectomy.. less work for the vet.. less time for the procedure.. no thought for doggy ball implants (who thought of that??) It's always seemed like overkill to me - like amputating an arm for a hang nail.

Wow! I have never wondered about that before! So I Googled it: http://www.petmd.com/blogs/dailyvet/...ctober/02-4770 Turns out there's no real good reason!
I know a couple people that have both male and female dogs together and neither are spayed or neutered. Apparently it's not always a problem.
Anyways, I don't think I'd recommend this. I do know that snipping off the balls of a dog, gives him a totally different character and I personally don't like that. I'd be in favor of spaying the female, I'm told that that reduces the chances of some frequently occurring tumors in female dogs. My dog passed away this spring, she was 14 something years, she was spayed and had a great character. Also saves on the mess female dogs in heat can bring with them.
Tough choice though, as it's not really reversible.

We made that mistake once and ended up with 18 cats in the yard.I've been trying to save up the money to have a cat neutered, and have thus far not been able to. I am now overrun with baby cats.
We were going to have one litter and sell the puppies, but that may be simply irresponsible with all the unwanted puppies at the shelter in need of a good home.
A dog in heat is no fun. The mess, every male dog in the vicinity trying to get at her. I'm absolutely for spaying females.
And when it comes to cats, the noises they make when in heat are borderline terrifying.

Yeah, we are going ahead and getting the boy fixed tomorrow. I hate the thought of the female, since the surgery is so much more invasive. They remove the uterus and the ovaries in a spay.
Why can't anyone develop a birth control pill for dogs during heat cycle. Is the cost of spaying/neutering so great, they don't want to create a cheaper, non agresive alternative?
It would be cheaper ? thus the reason ?
I've never spayed or neutered a dog. I don't think its the best thing for their health and it certainly takes the hunt out of the dog. I like my dogs alert.
Cats you either spay and neuter or accept you'll lose a few to traffic and predators; and the rest will piss all over everything you own.

Not sarcasm. Fortunately I've only got 6 right now, $100 for the big male, another $100 for the juvenile, $180 each for the adult and juvenile females. That's $560 that I just don't have. Before I ran for office I had plenty of money. Now I barely feed myself. I'm doing my best here.I hope that's sarcasm because that's not at all expensive and one should have some priorities in life.
