Supragal Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Our doberman is at the vet today having the snip and also having biopsies done of his intestines. Hopefully being minus his testiculars will make him a nicer boy!!! The other one is at home with me wondering where his mate is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Headroom Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Our terrier had his "bobs" removed from his "bits and bobs" about 5 years ago, he still tries to hump our other dog, and he still has a terrible temper. Mind you so would I if it had happened to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you so would I if it had happened to me Argh don't say that. I am hoping it helps with 3 things 1) scent marking 2) p1ssing off on walks 3) listening lol He had to have a general anyway for the biopsies so I said to whip them off too. I am evil. I guess he'll have one of those head cone things haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kranz Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Ahhhhh, poor thing. My 6 month old GSD still is intact & is as soft as a lamb. No bad behaviour at all, but is getting a bit too big to sit on my lap When we got him at 12 weeks he was the same weight as my 1 year old daughter... he's now at least 25Kg!

He's 8 months so a bit older but he's always been a PITA. He is cuddly and loves everyone but sadly kids don't see it that way when he sprints at them out on a walk. He's been ill so only just got back up to 27kg hense the biopsies. The ridgeback still has his bits, he's presenting no reason to have them removed so he can keep them for now. He's over 40kg already- eek. Im wondering about getting then freeze dried and hanging then up for him so he can still lick them, he seems to like that.

But only a few blokes would know! Won't the other one eat them though??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 is it supposed to calm them down? when we had a dog he was fine 'with' them.... apart from the odd impromptu hard on at a family gathering... Now my folks have a bitch Dalmatian, and she was nuts, wanting to fight everything in sight until she was 'done'... now she's sweetness and light.... weird eh? any vets on here can give us the real deal on cutting off the "bobs"?

Depends if the problem has become a habit or behavioural. We wouldn't ever breed from him anyway so it's no loss (to us haha) So I'm hoping that his problems as hormone related!!! My friends dog was a gem after he was done. I work on the basis that you have male horses done unless you are going to breed/race them, end of. They are a nightmare otherwise so the same kinda thing applies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbourner Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Gotta get the kittens done in december, hopefully stop the male being an arse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supragal Posted October 25, 2006 Author Share Posted October 25, 2006 Well he's too sleepy to come home yet and they found loads wrong, I just hope they didn't forget to remove his man bits while they were there!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R3DG3CKO ROB Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 ah, bless. I love dobies, my girlfriend has one and she's soft as anything... hope he gets better soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supragal Posted October 25, 2006 Author Share Posted October 25, 2006 does she want another one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supragal Posted October 25, 2006 Author Share Posted October 25, 2006 ahh he's in a proper sorry state. He's in so much pain he is too scared to walk or lie down, every time he tried he screamed so he stood there wobbling (still under effects of general) for nearly an hour until I could convince him to sit down and eventually got him to lie down and stay there, he's dead to the world now. Should be able to see pictures at: http://www.jonjesney.co.uk/puppies (I think!! on same domain so can't get to it like that to test) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
