Quixote 9 Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 (edited) Make sure your vet understands that it's castration you want (well, not you personally ) and not a vasectomy!? Castration should be around the £60 mark, & you should get him back the same day...........vasectomies are much dearer as it involves more precise surgery. When you get them done, don't put them on shavings? It'll irritate the stiches, & the dust can lead to abscessing...........put them on fresh newspaper fro a week or so & keep an eye on the wound. It'll not be dramatic & shouldn't be red & inflamed at any stage. Your vet might want a follow-up a week or so later, but if you see any problems get back to him or her sharpish Edited April 13, 2009 by Quixote Quote Link to post

Aye, not a million miles from where I am...........we're only about an hour from Callander (which is part of the Glen) I know the area pretty well. Been in to the Kingshouse a time or two as well............I spend a wee bit of time in & around Balquidder. They still do a nice pint of Campbells Good luck with the ferts! Quote Link to post
stealthy1 3,964 Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 A lass down the road from me just had her pet hob castrated for £23, I asked how much she was quoted to have him V'd, she said she was quoted £38. Quote Link to post

benny 1 5 Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 Well i seem to have been ripped off a little lol i paid 100 quid for my hob to be castrated! Seems to me that the vet just makes the decision on the day lol. Also i was told after the op that it aint 100% going to work! FM Quote Link to post

'Castration' is pretty much guaranteed to work, mate! Are you certain your vet didn't mean 'vasectomised'? Castration involves the complete removal of the testicles, so if it's done even halfway competently there's absolutely no chance of failure.......................you did make certain your vet can count to 'two', didn't you?
