I am still so angry from watching that tonight.

Well I have just done a search on here and found nothing to help. Have searched google and come up with nothing other than mobil services who will not come to where we live (Mount Mee). So I was wondering if anyone would happen to know of any groomers in these areas... would even go up the coast as well. We have a terribly bred malt x poodle who has a horrid coat (who thought they would mix well?!?!) The clippers I "attempted" to use would not cut a thing so have been sticking to clipping him with scissors so the poor boy gets picked on I am sure Unfortunately the young man was not groomed much before us (ex RSPCA stray) and is still getting used to being brush but now at least does not try to bite me when brushing anymore. So long story short we are looking for a groomer who can help us with the mess of hair that the poor boy has, also nail clipping on both the little monsters because someone decided to hide mine (am not looking at monster number 2) Someone who does take the time to help him enjoy the experience would be wonderful as well.

Ohhh I didnt know there was anything like that at Woodford, we are just around the corner from there sort of. We have been meaning to go to the waterhole down at Woodford so the boys can have a swim but we went while the Folk festival was on so we turned around and came home instead.

My refuge boy (who is about 3ish apparently) is the same. We got him about 7/8 months ago and he has no interest in toys really. He will have a run after the other dog when he is chasing his toys but thats about it. Its like he does not know what toys are so he just ignores them. Socks on the other hand, he certainly knows what they are he thinks us getting ready in the mornings is a great game.

I was getting back here. The vet had a feel and first off thought it was one left behind as well but he has decided that it is just a bit of swelling but to keep an eye on him. So I dont feel so stupid now when the vet also thought there was something that shouldnt be there. Thanks for the help everyone.

The boy is going to see the vet tomorrow afternoon, well hopefully he will be if I can get him in to see him. Its been a month since his opp and feeling it again it does feel smaller than it was but still something more than just swelling. Will find out tomorrow for certain though. Thanks everyone for your help. Its good to know I have not forgotten everything in the last 8 years. Now I am self doubting myself and what I am feeling lol the actual sac seems fine no swelling at all its just that "lump" The other half is thinking I am a weirdo for even checking that.

I am keeping my fingers crossed that this is what it is. Will be keeping a close eye on it because honestly we can not get him back to the refuge in the near future if need be we can take him to our vet. Poor little poppet has already had a hard enough life I dont like the idea of him having another operation no matter how small (that is if it is still there)

OK just gave them a ring and we will be taking a trip back down at some point (lucky he likes the car since its about an hour drive) so they can give him a feel as well. She thinks something may be been done to it to prevent any "accidents" After him just getting over KC (and giving it to our other dog) I dont like the idea of him having to have a second surgery so soon if he does need to have it removed.

Oh there is certainly 1 left behind. I expected him to have the excess skin still for quite some time but this little thing seems to more than just swelling. I feel better now about giving the refuge a call.

Has something changed in how male dogs are desexed? Or maybe I am completely insane. A few weeks ago my other half and I purchased an adult male Maltese cross from an RSPCA refuge. I did his post desex stiches removal and at the time noticed he still had what appeared to be a single testicle left behind. I just put it down to maybe some swelling. I checked again this morning (no I dont make it a habit of feeling up my dogs) and this has not gone down do I am assuming now that it is not swelling. I used to work for a refuge and I do not remember leaving bits inside at any time but then this was 8 years ago so things may have changed (but I have my doubts) So my question is, has desexing changed or is my memory shot and I am an idiot? (Ok I may be an idiot anyways)

My cats do that to me when we go away for the weekend and give me death stares as well. Our foxie will go off his food when we are away but then he isnt a big eater anyway. She will eat when she gets hungry.

Hrmmm our 5 year old mini foxie likes to do this and decided to do it when we had the covers off in the wash... lets just say we have a big hole now in the foam grrrr so sorry I am not much help because given the chance our boy will do it when he thinks he isnt being watched.

Exactly what I would have said lol Especially the rolling in it :p
