Wullieh You dont need the balls to drop mate... vets will do the op regardless Quote Link to post
wullieh 53 Posted January 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 read up on it lee it is better if you wait until the balls drop as having the op before hand increases the risk of it not being a success, and I know some vets will carry out the op before they drop but most prefer to wait till they drop.

B.P.R 2,798 Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 I cant find anywhere on the internet that says its better to have the vasectomy whilst the balls are dropped? ... Castration... yes.. but not the snip. Quote Link to post
nothernlite 18,080 Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 The vet i was going to to get the op done wanted the balls dropped before he would go ahead with the op Quote Link to post
pipa 299 Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 My vet said the same, I had to wait around 6months before he would snip him? Chris Quote Link to post
Country Joe 1,411 Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 Would it not be, having them a bit older not as dangerous when being put under, cant remember what age mine was, but he was groggy for a few hours. Quote Link to post
B.P.R 2,798 Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 Mine was fcuked for hours after too.... He was 18 months old... so sexually mature... but his balls hadnt descended at that time... I had 3 hobs castrated within weeks of each other... and the same vet insisted the balls had to have dropped for castration... Its obviously a grey area... Quote Link to post
The one 8,474 Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 It's a easier operation on the hob lee when his nuts have dropped and the vets less likely to make a feck up LOL Quote Link to post
The one 8,474 Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 Aye even with there balls dropped pedro's vet cut the blood supply off and no the sperm tubes to his hob so i would wait till there in season and there nuts are down before getting the operation , its no going to harm the jills to wait untill his tanks are empty and you can use him Quote Link to post
