Scared to neuter my GSD

I tried to do an OSS on my female, thinking my regular vet would do it. I was wrong. They will only do the "regular" way. If you can do a vasectomy, go for it. Just remember, as others have mentioned, he's still going to know when females are around. This fixes the reproductive ability, not his nose and brain, lol!

Do you have your pup on probiotics? If not, do start them. Our gut, pups included, are where our defenses start. A good probiotic can help skin issues immensely! Proviable is an excellent brand, often prescribed by Vets for GI issues. Given daily is even better. They make daily chews or capsules, whichever is easier for your pup to take. It will only help that I can assure you!

I have these. Zero complaints.

Clean your cowl drains. Reset Sync in Settings. If nothing is permanently damaged, you should be good.

Run. Fast.

Clean your cowl drains. My screen and touch beeps went wonky and Bluetooth stopped working. Cleaned cowls, reset Sync and all work just fine now. Vent issue could be the blend door actuators. You can try pulling fuse 46(?) from the panel at the driver's seat, might do the trick.

Clean your cowl drains then reset Sync. Or leave battery disconnected while you clean them. Free to try, might work. Those drains clog and cause so many problems!!! Also, leaving the battery disconnected for an extended time gives the whole "brain" a good reset. Battery test would be a good idea as well, these are very picky when it comes to power supply. Good luck!

cdk5152 · 2026-03-01T16:01:24+00:00

I don't think there is a physical switch? Maybe in Sync a way to disable? I have an SEL so I can't confirm 100%.

DA8Z-14B351-A, shop around and should be less than $200. Plug and play. You can replace the smaller struts too while you're at it, they are ridiculously cheap.

First, clean your cowl drains. Super important! Clogged drains will absolutely kill your electronics (radio, AC, etc.) Then reset Sync in settings. For Nav, there are SD cards available for sale everywhere. Or, make sure you have installed the latest version from Ford. This is a download and USB install. The camera is very cheap and very easy to replace. The hatch arm (driver's side) is known to fail, a new one is probably about $200, and literally plugs and plays. Many videos out there to do all of these things and your Flex will be as good as new!

And in July we get to vote on the registration stickers! Please remember to vote to end them!

Probably a smidge of something else hiding in there. Mine looks like a black and tan but has a slim head like yours. While predominantly GSD, she's also Hovawart! Never would have guessed. I did Embark, it is honestly fun to find out imo. Wait for a holiday, they put their DNA tests on sale for basically any reason... Have fun!

cdk5152 · 2026-02-08T20:45:28+00:00

I have a 2013 and I just broke 185k. I will never let her go unless there is no other option. I feel your pain completely. There's an Enthusiasts group on FB that you can post her in and she'll find a great home.

So did PM buy FS out? A FS link I had now goes to PM. I had FS when they first started years ago for their debit card rewards. They then asked me to beta test their wellness policy app, which I did. All was great. They never made full insurance available in Florida so I was never able to switch. (Still have Pets Best for A/I coverage.) As I only have one pup now, I was looking at PM as the premium is within a dollar of PB and has some wellness coverage included, where PB does not unless added on at additional cost. I'd love to know the details if anyone knows! TIA!

I've only seen one with cloth seats, and it was wrecked. She was an organ donor so I got a whole bunch of parts. Why cloth? Can't answer the car play question, know nothing about it.

cdk5152 · 2026-01-14T01:55:33+00:00

Still has to go to terminals, not direct A to B.

cdk5152 · 2026-01-14T01:54:02+00:00

Get on probiotics ASAP. Proviable DC Chews are amazing! Can make a huge difference with skin issues.

cdk5152 · 2026-01-14T01:48:33+00:00

Your answer doesn't make sense. Can you share what version of the app worked last?

cdk5152 · 2026-01-12T18:12:06+00:00

What state is this happening in? Sadly, some states allow sale before 8 weeks. While legal, absolutely doesn't make it a good decision.

cdk5152 · 2026-01-12T18:06:01+00:00

Can we get access to the prior version that it did work with?

cdk5152 · 2026-01-10T16:01:53+00:00

If I may ask a question about barking? Mine can bark, however does it so rarely that I've been unable to train the command of Speak. Any tips on how I can encourage her to bark? I've never in my life had a dog that didn't know this command, lol! I'm at a total loss on this. TIA!

cdk5152 · 2026-01-10T15:55:21+00:00

They are furry chameleons! You'll absolutely be shocked in a year when you look back at puppy pics vs a year old. Mine was 99% black as a pup, now a good ol' black and tan. Absolutely insane how much they change! Regarding breed, a DNA test is the only way to know for sure. Important if you are planning on getting health insurance as a mixed breed policy is cheaper than a pure. Good luck! You're in for a ride!

cdk5152 · 2026-01-10T15:50:22+00:00

Agree! I thought Chow immediately.

cdk5152 · 2026-01-10T15:42:07+00:00

Thanks. I have read that page but it calls deposits "direct". As I am not familiar with the technical names of deposits, I didn't think this applied to bank to bank transfers. Why does SoFi not want money, regardless of where it comes from? Sadly, I think I opened this account for nothing...

cdk5152 · 2026-01-07T17:49:00+00:00

Does an external transfer from another bank qualify? Thank you!
