[Gpdd] health- Lenny and that operation

[joy smith]

Hi everyone,

In reply to cappleby's question on neutering, everyone will know that we had 
Lenny (head nurse, poo trail) castrated, he was just over a year old, had 
been fighting with his Dad and we did not want to separate them. He did ok 
but sulked at us for a while, I don't know if it was pain but he did not 
complain too much, ate ok and drank ok, was very good about not gnawing on 
his stitches but did have a great deal of fuss made of him!
We deliberated for some considerable time though, piggies are very 
vulnerable under anaesthetic and need intensive nursing post-op, but Lenny 
has calmed down a lot and is very cuddly and lovely- his hair is very soft 
too, don't know if that is because of the op or his diet.
Ultimately it is a decision not taken lightly with discussions with your 
vet.

Best wishes
