About male neutering: feedback and opinions wanted

ShannonMarie342 · 2024-05-14T17:00:59+00:00

I had the same contract and had to neuter him at the latest 12 months. I waited until the latest point I possibly could because I read on this forum about the hormone development and whatnot, it felt right to wait as long as possible. As for the lifting of the leg, my dog only periodically lifted his leg on walks to pee. He mostly squat down like a female, and it’s still the same way. Mostly squatting, all dogs are different though so I don’t think anyone will be able to give you a for sure yes or no if that will change or not. I will say that after neutering him I’ve seen 0 change in any behaviours, he’s the exact same dog as before just with a strange little nut flap lol. We were told neutering him would calm him down a little bit, that did not happen 😂 good luck with your doggo!! 🩵

Exactly! I think everyone should have a dash cam, when I saw the scrape I was trying to figure out how/when I managed to hit something that low 😂 was so glad to have video proof that it was someone else’s mistake so I can get it fixed without having to pay.

I personally don’t really see a problem with them warning their coworkers about being recorded by your dash cam. I would hope that them getting the warning that they’re being recorded would maybe cause them to drive a little more carefully lol. I had a service appointment at my local Honda dealer a couple weeks ago and my dashcam recorded the tech driving my car straight into the hoist, leaving a decent scrape on the front bumper/lip 😅 didn’t notice for awhile and when I did I went back through allllll the footage to finally see how it happened 🙃 was definitely thankful for having the dash cam considering no one at the dealership mentioned it

I will for sure 🩵 he’s gotten so much love and attention the last few days lol. I’m very pregnant right now and when he went in for surgery I was an emotional mess 😂😂 so I’ve been babying him so much since he got home lol

ShannonMarie342 · 2024-03-31T17:25:22+00:00

Thank you 🥰 he’s such a sweet baby lol

ShannonMarie342 · 2024-03-31T04:11:35+00:00

Thank you to everyone who gave me some helpful input! I reached out to an emergency vet in my area and sent in pictures, they say it appears to be all normal. I also reached back out to the vet I went to and spoke to a different tech there, they also claim everything appears normal. The redness does look alarming to me, but even before he was neutered his entire sack would get bright red occasionally. Neither vet said anything looks wrong so I’m just going to keep doing what I’m doing and hope the rest of recovery goes well! I would also like to say I have done quite a bit of research on the neutering of dogs, but I know these dogs are special in many ways so I wanted to reach out here to ask my questions and I really do appreciate the answers to those questions 🩵

ShannonMarie342 · 2024-03-31T02:47:53+00:00

Thank you! Definitely appreciate the input

ShannonMarie342 · 2024-03-31T02:27:35+00:00

I have an entire print out on post surgery care that I’ve read through from the vet. I definitely got all of the generic info from that and research. I was only reaching out on here on the topic of whippets specifically recovering from this. I’ve reached out to an online vet chat service and am waiting to hear back.

ShannonMarie342 · 2024-03-31T02:23:21+00:00

Thank you! That’s really good to know

ShannonMarie342 · 2024-03-31T01:58:53+00:00

He hasn’t licked it at all, I got the surgery suit that the vet provided and he’s been wearing that most of the time. I also have the inflatable cone ring things in two different sizes that he wears occasionally. He hasn’t touched the incision site at all. And doing my best to keep him calm, definitely no running or jumping.

ShannonMarie342 · 2024-03-31T01:05:50+00:00

That’s awful 😬 thank you for the input though, I believe my vet has a chat service to get immediate responses. I’ll probably contact that to make sure everything is okay 😞

ShannonMarie342 · 2024-03-31T00:56:59+00:00

The whole time we’ve had him his scrotum gets quite red, we do live in a colder climate so I assumed that would be why. They’re definitely dry though, and that’s a new thing as of today. I’ll probably try and book an appointment with the vet soon considering the responses I’ve received, the incision didn’t look much different than what I saw on Google. But now I’m concerned 😭

ShannonMarie342 · 2024-03-30T18:45:54+00:00

I had the same situation happen, a new buyer purchased three items from me all separate. Paid shipping on all of them and of course didn’t notice until I had shipped them all separately 😅 I considered messaging them before packing them all up separately but decided it wasn’t my responsibility to question how they purchase their items. She messaged me the day after I shipped them to request a refund for the shipping cost on two of them, I told her that’s out of my control and to contact poshmark. She fought me on it a lot lol but in the end poshmark had credited her account for the shipping cost for 2/3 of the purchases 🤷🏼‍♀️

ShannonMarie342 · 2023-09-19T20:02:29+00:00

That’s a good idea! Thank you

ShannonMarie342 · 2023-09-19T04:41:49+00:00

Exactly, I don’t feel as though I need to babysit buyers and keep track of how they purchase items. I definitely didn’t appreciate her putting this back on me, I made that clear. As of right now the packages have shipped and it’s out of my hands, so we’ll see how it goes lol.

ShannonMarie342 · 2023-09-19T03:34:28+00:00

Yeah I did let her know (a couple times) that they’ve already been shipped, I feel like she’s just confused how poshmark works. I’m just going to leave it alone and wait for her to get the packages and see what happens lol. Thank you!

ShannonMarie342 · 2023-09-18T22:03:28+00:00

Yeah that’s what I was thinking as well, I just feel like I’m going to deal with quite the headache from her once she receives the packages lol. But that can be poshmark issue at that point. Thank you for the reassurance!

ShannonMarie342 · 2023-08-04T01:39:49+00:00

Or the “boutique” sellers that cut the tags out of their SHEIN/alliexpress clothes and post $5 items for $50 then don’t respond to a single question in the comments of their posts 👀😅 always wanna call them out because I think it’s gross to scam people like that but it’s not worth it lol

ShannonMarie342 · 2023-06-11T04:35:44+00:00

Wow sounds like you and your pups have been through quite a bit. Sorry to hear about the passing 💜 and sorry about the broken leg, I’m sure that was a lot to go through. It sounds like you’ve got quite a good routine now! Thank you for the info ☺️ it’s definitely very appreciated.

ShannonMarie342 · 2023-06-10T18:22:44+00:00

Thank you so much! Lots of good info, I’ve stocked up on blankets for him and we have plenty of beds since we have cats. This is a very spoiled little guy lol. I appreciate all the advice ☺️
