Hedgehog and spud-gun are being castrated/ they are OK

Hugo's There

Wise Old Thumper
:? :( :( :(

the vet has agreed to neuter them both in the morning, despite Hedgehogs lack of growth. I am worried sick and feel incredibly guilty but don't know what else I can do.

Hedgehog is completely ruled by his hormones, he is humping 23 hours a day. It is stopping him from eating and sleeping and is making his neurological problems so much worse. I have managed so far to keep the boys together despite quite a few fights as Hedgehog become distraught when seperated from his brother.

please can we have loads of vibes, as you know our track record with neuterings and Hedgehog still seems such a vulnerable little baby :(

Tons of vibes for them Liz. I really hope everything goes ok, I know how special these 2 are to you.
 
Fingers crossed for them both.
Is there such thing a chemical castration for buns? I think I read somewhere it can be done for cats.....which would rule out the risk of going under?
sorry if that's total garbage....brain not functioning :oops:
 
I missed this last night. :( I'll be thinking of you and the boys this morning.

I really hope that both ops go well and that today will see the end of your bad run with neuterings.

Mentioned it to my vet and he said that there isn't anything for buns and he doesn't like chem castration for cats as sometimes it doesn't work properly :wave:

there is chemical castration but unfortunately the chemicals can make neurological problems worse so it wouldn't have helped Hedgehog.
