Finally got Damian neutered yesterday (after a course of baytril for suspected snuffles) and he was eating and drinking fine yesterdaybut looked sorry for himself didnt sit down properly (or thats how he looked) he still not putting his bits down on the floor but he is a loony tonight digging my bed biting my quilt running round and binky-ing like crazy, If i didnt know better id say the vets gave him a few spare pairs rather than taking them away!
 
I'm pretty sure from memory that it after a neuter it can take a while afterwards for the behaviour to change. At least he is binkying so that shows he is happy and not in pain.
 
Fiver was the same. Tried to confine him but that didn't work so he was racing around the room with me trying to stop him. :roll: Idiot.
 
Thank you, they never said at vets and tbh i dont even know if anything will change all that much except today hes been more biting and digging things he had previosly circled but no real hormonal behaviour, he is only 5months so i dont think hormones had kicked in fully. I am happy to see him binkying tho i was soo worried all day yesterday
 
Well only change in Fiver was that he stopped following me, grunting and trying to hump my slippers. That took a few weeks to stop though. He's 4 1/2 now and still digs, scrabbles, growls and charges at me :roll:
 
he don't bite tho does he lol, im a wimp i am my guinea pigs have bit me but only warning when treating them, Damian didnt bite or growl or anything the whole time i gave him baytril and still came for cuddles (after i put the syringe away) he has always been lovely really
 
He has started nipping me recently but I think it's because he's bored/frustrated. He lost his girl a few months ago and isn't doing so well on his own... hopefully that will all change soon providing everything goes well :shock:

He never used to "attack" me but he does now. I think he is just rather territorial. It's mainly his litter tray and my bed he does it over :roll:
 
damian does take an interest when i clean his cage out but not aggressivley he jumps all over me and in the cage and sniffs everything as i put it back in lol, i put fleece blankets in his cat cube that he likes to dig with, he circles me in the mornings when i go make a cuppa and licks my bare feet but thats about all he does...... so far
 
Fiver circles me and always has done. It's just a "happy dance" to see you haha. Only when he was younger did he do his "grunting" which was his "Your mine!" grunt :lol:

When I had Ellie I used to have them both circling and weaving in and out of my legs every time I walked in my bedroom! Was fun attempting to walk especially when Ellie was crossed with a french lop or something! :shock:
