My colt has lost his vitals today.

This was done at 1 oclock so why when I went back up at tea time was he trying to get frisky with his mum...and why when he was meant to be gently walked out did he decide to bog off leaping and jumping around like a utter numpty fortunatly he wasnt bleeding when he came in but why why why does he want me to have a heart attack

he is punishing you for doing that deed to him!! Aw bless him, sounds like his recovery will be uneventful, I hope so. Ours was done whilst still suckling, the second they dropped I booked the vet, mum was there to comfort him and Im sure made it all easier, Eeyore was nearly 4 when he was done, the swelling was horrendous and he wandered unhappily about for a week before he began to cheer up a bit. I do think the younger they are the better they recover.

Had 10 month old colt done last month ( standing sedation ), hardly any bleeding or swelling , no John Wayne walking . He was just kept in overnight and you wouldn't think anything had happened to him !

Glad to read this post and will point daughter in its direction as her colt is losing his bits in a couple of weeks. She is a tad worried that there will be loads of blood and it will be all rather messy (vivid imagination ) so she will be rather relieved at how simple it really is and how well the little angels (!) recover

I had Oscar done on the 8th march (at 21 months) My friend also had her 9 month colt done at the same time.... Little one def coped better, less swelling and bleeding, and you wouldn't have known he had anything done, whereas Oscar took a good week to be back to his normal self..... I felt terrible but he is fine now......
