stealthy1 3,964 Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 Yo ferreters! took my hob to have him snipped this morning, dropped him off at nine this morning at the vets, they told me to ring them at two in the afternoon to see how he was doing, signed the contract to say I understood the dangers and that I understood there may be a problem that may not be known to him, and out of the surgeons control. the nurse took him and I left, rang at two to see what the score was, but they were just putting in the stitches when I rang, so they said they would ring me when he was awake and sorted, phone rang at three to ask me to pick him up, he was surprisingly perky taking in to consideration what had just happened to him, I haven't told him what happened the nurse said the anaesthetic knocks them out, and then an antidote is administered and they bounce into life again, sounds like a fun thing to do to your mates at parties eh! Anyway, he's no worse for his ordeal, he's had some thing to eat and drink, seems fine, so I'm £38 lighter, and hopefully have a hob that can fire as many blanks as he likes, so no more kits eating me out of house and home for the rest of the season. Vet did a nice clean job, six dissolving stitches, back to the vets for a check-up next week, job done, if for some reason the op's failed, the vet said he'd re-perform the op for free, but said he wouldn't contribute to the up bringing of the kits Here's the finished article. stealthy. 1 Quote Link to post

It is so that you can use a hob to bring a jill out of season without kits or the cost of a jilljab. It will have no effect on there behaviour. Quote Link to post
