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.
