Tucker being neutered today

[tuckerdoodledo]

Well it looks like it's just that kind of "fixed" day. This is Tuckers 7 month birthday. I'm new at this and of course we didn't investigate the whole situation until we got home, but do they just remove the testicals and leave the skin? Sorry for the bluntness but you all are experts. My son says "will it just fall of or what"?. The poor thing is just pitiful. Of course I have to take pictures of everything. I think he is trying to be mad at me

That's what they did with Tanner....The skin shriveled and once it healed and fur grew over...looked like nothing was ever there

[tuckerdoodledo]

Good thing because nothing is there now

[annieG]

I think that is the idea

Glad to hear that Tucker is doing well. Toby acted as though nothing happened trying to keep him quiet was a trip and unsuccessful! Lani made sure of that, if he was willing she was going to accommodate him. He recovered quickly>

i had the same question when kumo was neutered. we waited until he was a year old, so there was a significant, er, flap of skin left behind after the procedure. i decided to ask the Internet (via google) about whether the flap would reduce in size over time, and came across this HILARIOUS blog entry on the subject. the comments are just as funny as the post.

and, yes, kumo's flap has shrunk until at this point it is barely noticeable.

Max to this day brings tears of laugher at the vets office when he got neutered. He awoke and took off running hhahaha then barked incessantly for 6 hours till we could get out of work to pick him up.
Needless to say he was sore for almost 4 days and walked like a 95 yr old man hahahhahahaa

Jonah now has a "patch of hair" that makes him look like he still may have some "marbles". I think this is so he can fake out those beautiful girl doodles on the forum with his "manliness"!

Glad Tucker came through it ok. Do I notice pink toes in that picture? Miko has a couple too! They are soooo cute!

Oh how on earth can you stand that darling face being mad at you? It would kill me.

His little skin will tighten up and you'll never know he lost his marbles

those tuxedo doodles are the cutest ever!!! and have the soulful doodle eye look down pat!!!

i love how much expression doodles are capable of

Hey Tucker
How are ya doing buddy.
I hear you had "it" done.
Good use of the face keep that up cause they give you extra treats
if you look all sad, makes them feel sorry for you.
You will be running around and good as new real quick
but do not forget to keep giving them the look.

Your buddy

the older the dog the less resilent the skin (read if you wait on a great dane until he is 6 he always has a little hanging pouch!)
our 100 pound labrador is taking his time to shrink as well as he was three when his procedure was done! At 7 months you will be fine and it will be unnoticable!

This is too funny! Emilee, your link had me rolling on the floor
Tucker, get better soon, you are sooo cute!

How is Tucker today? Hope he is doing well.

Thanks for asking. I just got home and he has been in his crate about 4 hours. He will not leave it alone. I can't tell because of the sweling if it is a bit open or just strange looking. I had my son put a white sheet in the crate so I could see any bleeding. There is one small blotch and it looks more like a slober spot with very little pink to it. He doesn't know what to do with himself. Is there anything natural that makes them sleep or be lazy? He still has one pain\inflamation tablet to take in the a.m. I am about to make a cone for his head. How pitaful. How is lani? How are you keeping her from sniffing, scratching, biting, chewing or whatever it is Tucker is doing to himself?
