Woolly Hat n Wellies
Well-Known Member
In early April this year, this adorable little bundle of fluff came into my life, unexpectedly (and not exactly wanted, if I'm totally honest).
Nearly nine months later, I have this... thing...
Dad is still a mystery, although I'm beginning to suspect he may have been a yak.
He's still drinking a little bit from Mum, who is an unbroken 8 year old companion pony, so I'm happy for her to wean him in her own time. He isn't taking any condition off her (in fact, I rather wish he would!). The EDT said his wolf teeth had already come through by 7 months, which she was rather surprised about, but I'm currently more concerned about the other end... I can only feel one ball. Sometimes it feels like it might be one sat directly in front of the other (is that possible? is that normal?), sometimes I'm pretty sure it's just one. But he's so hairy now and he has such chunky thighs, it's hard to tell what's going on! I'm hoping to geld him early next year, before the flies come out. At what point should I be worried if I can still only find one? And what will I need to do if he needs an op to extract a retained one?
