JILLS IN SEASON

[Kay 3,709]

Anybody needed more than one jill jab in a season ???? ive heard repeated jabs can cause hard lumps under the injection site

 

I have never had a jill jabbed, always used a vasectomised hob when i kept jills, but i have never had to run a jill twice in a year with him, i just left the jill till around April time, i believe as long as they have been brought out of season for that year they will remain healthy.

 

I was fortunate enough to be able to house him permanantly with any entire jills i had at the time, i also think having him in with the jills 365 days a year stopped the phantom pregnancys & general jill squabbling once they had been served by him

 

He was a very gentle hob and never marked there necks & certainly didnt bother them once he had done his job & he lived a very happy life with half a dozon jills untill he had to be PTS due to testicular cancer, he was castrated but within 6 weeks there was an obvious problem & sadly he had a huge mass in his stomach

 

I suppose it made me feel better getting him castated as i thought i owed it to him for the hard work he had done for the 7 yrs i had him, it would have been nice to have had him a while longer & made him comfortable in his retirment but it was not to be

 

 

I have a nuetered hob if anyone near glasgow needs to borrow one !

 

You say neutered , do you mean vasectomised or castrated ?

My snipped hob had that last year and it was £ to get a ball removed the vet said it would have been cheaper castrating him but i still wanted him to use on my bitches .This is the third or fourth time ive heard of snipped hobs getting testicular cancer .

 

Is this a hazard of getting them snipped ???

Bob i think the risk is the anesthetic, a castrate is pretty straight forward , as they dont go in to the body to perform the operaton, so less time under the anesthetic, with a spay or vasectomy its a bit more intrusive, but i think the big problem with vasectomys is them reversing, everyones mileage varies, never had a problem with the hob i used, but i have heard a lot of people say the vasectomised hob they have used on there jils has ended up with unwanted unplanned litters, its a bit of a lottery really, i think if you have a couple or more jills a vasectomised hob is worth his weight in gold

 

I would be interested in hearing from the folk who say its bollox that jills suffer if there left in season, and choose to neither breed or use another method to bring the jill out of season, things like lifespan,

 

Personally i dont keep jills any more to many things to go wrong

I think its luck of the draw Bob, one thing i have been wondering is a friend of mine has 6 jills jabbed every year & they all loose there coats apart from there heads, vet cant fathem it out but its always around a month after the jab is administered

maybe the jill jab contains the same hormones that are used in the womans birth pill it accually makes the body think that it is pregnant same as dogs they often lost fur before they are due to whelp obviously the jills think that they are in kit the same as a naturally bread jill losses her fur before she is due to have her kits i dont think your vets up to much if he cant work this one out
