[Gpdd] Health] Neutering Boars

[Laurie-Jean Gombar]

Hi!
>From what I remember ~8 years ago when Piglet got neutered- you have to
be careful after the surgury.  Keep the stitches clean..  They had used
some that dissolve and don't require removing.  He seemed to heal up
well.  After a month one "teste" swelled up.  I took him back in, she
lanced it and drained it... And he was put on antibiotics... He
healed... A month later, the other "teste" swelled up... Same thing..
Lanced, drained and more antibiotics... Poor Piglet.  She did not charge
me for the latter 2 visits and it was about $60 to have it done.  She
said some animals just don't do well with the dissovable stitches, don't
agree with them..  Aside from that he was fine and lived well with Sugar
until he died. ~6 years later.
