wooops!
OK - I have a funny castration story too.... painful as it was for Logan. I was showing him all during his prime, so I didn't neuter him till he was 8. I was told that there is a lot of benefit in neutering them by old age even if they've been intact, to reduce the risk of the old-age male cancers.
Well, I had him neutered and took him home... the next morning he was in quite a bit of pain. I rolled him over, and I swear THEY WERE BACK. There were his ~nuts~ full and firm as before! I yelled to my dad.... Dad! you better come take a look at this! They're back!
Well, the sacks that were left had filled with blood/puss/something, and it was really painful for the poor old guy. I was told later that he should have been put on antibiotics prior to and after the surgery, that the risk of infection is greater in older dogs.
Poor ol' Guy!
OOOOOO...that really makes it sound painful:( poor guy.
