Bryan gets neutered.

K took Bryan to the vet today to be neutered. I made the appointment some weeks ago because the B-boy is at the right age for the procedure, and delaying too long would nullify some of the benefits of neutering. So in he went to the clinic bright and early this morning.

While he was there – and this is why I love our vet at Animal Recovery Centre (Greendale) after years of apathetic veterinary care – he was examined and found to have a couple of puppy teeth that were still securely embedded in his gum. The vet recommended removing them because they would affect the development of his permanent teeth, so K okayed the extraction and Bryan came home two testicles and three puppy teeth short.

He is very troubled by his Elizabethan collar, but he has no choice but to wear it because he has been licking his incision site. He’s also looking rather hangdog and asking for cuddles. I think the Tramadol has gotten the better of him, because he’s finally sleeping in his crate. Hopefully he can go without his collar for at least an hour or two on Sunday, because we have obedience class. Poor boy.
