Wise Old Thumper
As above. Benjie has been smitten with a sudden & severe outbreak of testosterone since his plums dropped a week ago.
The spraying just meant I was smelly & had more washing than usual, but he's obsessed with "it" & any part of me he can reach & also off his food a bit. :oops::oops: I feel so sorry for the poor fella; he's so driven.
He's having an urgent visit to the plum fairy tomorrow.
The main reason why I'm concerned is that he only recovered from 2 abscesses & snuffles a week ago. I'd hoped I could give him more chance to recover before his immune system was compromised by more stress. Finger's crossed the snuffles/abcess don't rear their ugly head again.
 
Sending lots of vibes for tomorrow. Will be thinking of you too. I know it is a routine op for boys, but I was beside myself when Spenser was done last year. :oops: xxx
 
Lots of vibes for tomorrow, I think you are right to have him done now, I am sure he will be fine.
 
Thank you so much everyone.
I started him on a drop of aqueous echinacea & goldenseal daily 3 days ago, to protect his immune stystem from the effects of stress, but all went pear shaped over the w/e.
I can't even stroke him, or go up/down the stairs without Benjie attaching himself to me!
I think he'll feel relieved too. Can't be pleasant for him being "rejected by me" all the time either.:cry:
Must remember to ask for plenty of metacam for after.

The really good thing is that he's been gaining weight at 0.2 Kgm./week, & his muscles have filled out nicely. His tummy is in perfect condition too.:)
 
Benjie would say a big thank you if he could. They'll be starting now.
It only occurred to me today that's he's got a wonderful temperament. Despite the raging hormones there hasn't been a whisper of aggression towards me.
