Some great info to take into consideration when thinking about neutering 🐶
This post is going to be about the crowned jewels!
Something to consider when or if you are going through the decision making process of whether to keep them hanging or not.
My boy beagle is now 61/2 years of age.
As per breeders agreement I had him castrated when he was just under 2 years of age. I regret very much not choosing vasectomy instead of castration.
With Jet I have always been mindful of his hind quarters/pelvic stability especially right side. I keep him balanced in movement and tissue.
After his castration and he was healed enough I started to treat his scar line. Scar tissue is very different tissue than other tissue type. It is super strong stuff. It is different in its make up than liagaments, tendons, fascia, muscle etc
Infact after a long, hilly hike Jet will look sloppy on the move in a walk. Take momentum out of movement and you will see fault or imbalance. So I start by treating along his castration scar line then onto p***s, linea alba and so forth and this will infact be the start of balancing out his pelvic girdle and have him back to correct movement again. I actually have a few castrated boys where this also works for them.
Managing scars and scar lines is super important. Their location on the body can have a huge impact on body movement via fascia or even as in this case pelvic stability.
When I listen to people talk about their decision as to what they consider best for their dog I explain management of castration scar line. I have had more and more people over the years bring their bi***es and dogs to be treated post surgery for scar line work. Something to be mindful of.
