*kirty* Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 I have a 15yo entire male toy poodle that I took on earlier this year. Have just had to deal with two bitches in season and Preston trying his hardest to get to them. He was a stud dog in a former life so he knows all about girls in season... I don't want to risk any unwanted pregnancies so am looking for thoughts about desexing vs suprelorin or anything else. He is healthy so a quick anaesthetic to castrate him. But if suprelorin is just as good, I am happy to do that. Then there is the risk of prostate or testicular cancer etc. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mjosa Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 He could have a vasectomy, less invasive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Spotted Devil Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Not sure if you've seen this old thread: http://www.dolforums.com.au/topic/246787-is-suprelorin-100-effective/ I'd be leaning towards desexing if it's going to be hard work although he still may be keen to mate - is he due for a teeth clean by any chance? Do them at the same time...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persephone Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 castration if possible ....tho, at that age , he will probably still 'want' to ! I have had castrated when mature dogs behave worse than the entires!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*kirty* Posted October 16, 2016 Author Share Posted October 16, 2016 Cool, I think I will just desex him. He isn't noisy or mental but he is sneaky lol. And I really don't want to have to stress about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papillon Kisses Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 I second having his toothy pegs done at the same time if possible/appropriate. One last dental to see him through. :) Also from experience I'd ask for fluids, helps them recover from the GA. And pre-op blood tests though I imagine that's a given.

*kirty* Posted October 16, 2016 Author Share Posted October 16, 2016 His teeth are actually OK and most vets won't do a dental with other procedures because of the risk of contamination. All my animals get IV fluids, no question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
