Jesse has finally experienced that right of passage into adult "dogdom." He was neutered on Thursday by the best student in our class, Ashley Brown. I can say that because she will never read this! (hehe) Surgery went excellently. He was on his best behavior and everyone told me I was nuts- he would never try and hurt a fly... we'll see about that. He did eat a roach this morning..... I digress. He is officially the heapest drunk and biggest cry baby every. The drugs that were suppose to relax him, knocked him out; and we only needed 1/4 the drugs we calculated to knock him out. Now he is in an e-colar again and EVERYTHING makes him cry. He can't lick- he cries; he can't scratch- he cries; he can't get through a doorway- he cries; you get the idea. Now for my job as a veterinarian. I have included not a cute picture of Jesse pouting, but a lovely illustration of why everyone should get their dog neutered if they can only feel one testicle. The abdominal/inguinal one has 13.6 times higher chance of becoming cancerous. It is small, soft, and has increased blood supply- a nidus for displastic, cancerous cells. It was fun to watch. And not that 2 of his brains have been removed, maybe the 1/2 he has left will function a little better! Love you guys. See you in a month or so!
