Castration Update: Mr. Tufts testicles

Wonderful news! Mr. Tufts has lost his tufticles. I had checked them on the 18th of June. They were still there and hanging by a "thread" so to speak. I could no longer see the band and it was an open wound. Both of us were really worried. I had read and heard that it would take about a month for them to drop off. At that point it was about six weeks. My first reaction was to call the vet right away and get really worried. I then thought I would wait another few days as Mr. Tufts did not seem to be in any pain. So we waited. Another ten days and they were gone. By June 26th there wa no sign of them what so ever. I actually think they dropped off a couple of days earlier a I remember seeing a ball of wool that was being checked out by Beauty our dog (pasture oysters?) I am happy to report that the wound has healed beautifully and it looks great.! What a learning experience this has been. If the tufticles hadn't dropped off we would have had to have the vet in, which would of meant a fair bit of money. To make a long story short we would have had lamb for Christmas. I am glad we aren't as I like Mr. Tufts and had planned on keeping him. which we now are. Must call the vet for vaccinations and some de-wormer. We don't need 1litre of wormer for $100.
