Long story short, Boggs went in to get neutered on Monday. Get the old nuts chopped off, no more hormones, nice calm submissive doggie (as Cesar Millan would say) all good. Except when I looked to check the wound and was greeted by a giant ballsack. Huh? Isn't that exactly what they were supposed to take away? I seriously considered taking pictures so that you could see what we're dealing with over here.I agonized over it. How could a vet miss such huge set of balls? That's not how Ollie looked after his surgery. I called my mom, she confirmed - all her dogs were sans balls afterwards. So of course, I called the vet:
Me: "Hiiiiii, my dog Boggs was in yesterday to be neutered...and well......he's doing just fine....but I do have one question. This might sound strange, but why does he still have a nutsack?"
And yes, I know I'm a medical professional, and I certainly could have phrased my question more scientifically. But how often does one get a genuine opportunity to use the term "nutsack" in daily conversation?
Turns out they said it was completely normal, and the faux ballsack is just swelling from the procedure, and should shrink up to nothing over the next few days....we'll see about that.
