Thread: Farewell to Monty's Family Jewels

Our little lad is booked in next Weds for the snip - hubby is crossing his legs already!

I've no doubt it will all be fine, just hope that the vets are a bit more careful with the tracheal tube this time, could do without a repeat of poor Gracie's experience

Poor Monty & I bet he is proud of them as well.Just remind them very politely of the problem Gracie had & fingers crossed it won't happen again.
Weird how the men always associate their parts with that of the animal,we very often have the women bring in the animal for their castration op as the other half can't even bear to think about it,lets face it a couple of quick nicks & a tug,job done,lot easier for the male species.
Will be thinking of him next Wednesday....x

If Monty develops low self-esteem after his surgery, this could be a solution;
now neuticles became available for cats :

Hi Rachel, I'm sure it will be fine, much more straightforward for the chaps isn't it. Let us know how he gets on!

Sorry to disapoint but they have not been available in the UK for some time, we do still get requests for them at work but the company who used to sell them stopped years ago.

LOL, whatever will they think of next?!

I am just hoping that the op might calm him down a little. In the last week he's become a little more aggressive in his play with Gracie and I've had to call him off biting the back of her neck on more than a few occasions - personally I think he's getting a bit frisky with her - the boy has no shame!!! Luckily she's already been done so even if they are having a bit of afternoon delight when we're not here we don't have to worry about any accidents!!!!

Sebastian is also going for the chop next week and we are also finding ourselves trying to drag him off the others, males and females!!All being well he will also be having his eye sewn up(well his none eye)so to stop infections and hopefully all the weeping.My poor baby!! Hope all goes well for Monty next week,keep us informed!

Surgery for females is more difficult due to abdominal incision. I worried about my kitties before and during their operation. I even asked the vet's front office to call me at work as soon as the surgery was over. Then we had a rehab department in our house. At first I tried Elizabethian's collars, but soon came up with my own substitute. My method was so much better tolerated by girls that I shared it with my vet who may or may not use it (depending if he wants to sell collars)

I used my husband's old sweatshirt's sleeves to make post-op vests :
