Kay 3,709 Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 having him done now wont be any use to you this year .. he needs a few months before he will be firing blanks & then its not a guaranteed success even if you leave plenty of time before using him.... you may well find yourself with 4 litters Quote Link to post

The one 8,463 Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 Everybody to there own but i prefer a snipped hob over the jill jab any time the guys just asking for advice and wouldn't it be a wonderfull world if we could all get orginised get a young hob kitt in let its balls drop get it snipped for the next year and let it empty its tanks so unless the vet fecked up the op the guys jills are not going to have kitts ,Buy hindsights a wonderfull thing Quote Link to post
stubby 175 Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 so unless the vet fecked up the op the guys jills are not going to have kitts I thought that too, but after asking, bit/tubes can grow back/re join, so a snipped hob, can start firing live rounds again a year later Quote Link to post
