Bradley arrived 15 days ago with two good sized testicles. Both down and ripe for the chop but he was too thin and stressed so we decided to leave him two weeks and chop them today. Had a look yesterday and again two merrily swinging in the breeze. Vet arrives, sedates him and starts scrubbing. Hmmm says she, no right testicle. We'll let the sedative work a bit more and try again. Few mins later still no sign. Vet had a real good rummage and nothing. Not even a trailing edge at the muscle ring. Ok we'll get another pair of hands and put him right out and we should me able to manipulate it down. So two hours, two vets, lots of drugs and one snoring baby horse.......still no right testicle!! Its literally nowhere to be seen! He must have sucked it practically back to his kidneys!!*
Vet says he might drop it tomorrow, next week any time really. If its not down in 6 months it might have got stuck up there and he may need a proper op to retrieve it! Luckily he's still very sweet and manageable and YO is happy for my two to stay in their own little field away from the mixed herd.
So please everyone send b*****k vibes my way!
Plus any experiences of this type of surgery? If it does get that far! Oh and to add that Bradley will be 2 in June.
