Hey Paso! Looks like Vence handled it very well. I am glad that he is doing well and you are doing ok as well!
"May I ask why standing? If you know......." I have never seen it done when the horse lays down. I have always seen it standing up. The first time I saw it done, it was standing up, and of course I asked why he was standing and the vet told me it was easier for her to get to them to cut them off standing up and that she wouldnt have to worry about him ripping something when they went to get him up. I think its just personal preference. I could be wrong.
Let us know how he's doing Paso!

When my donkey got castrated, his "boys" got put in the fridge so I could take them to school.
Had my little man done back in 1980..he lived in the Eastern Shore and I was stationed at the Naval Acadamy..Naval Hospital. (Took photos too, but all packed away...)
Vet came out, gave him meds, he went down, nuts came off...he recovered nicely...nuts went into plastic bag, stuck them in communial freezer at barracks kitchen.
(My horse friend whos farm Smokey lived at suggested we keep them.. I have NO idea why...but we did....)
Had "Do not eat" sticker on bag....Property of..."
Two days later...nuts were stolen from freezer....
I put note up...The "Do Not Eat" bag had my horses nuts in them. Thanks..
Hope you enjoyed eating them....
Funny thing..no on ever stole food from our communial freezer again...and my horse buddy and I never found out who took ( ate ) them...

Hopefully they didn't eat them. I put mine (well, his) in a paper bag with "Do Not Open" on the front. The next day I heard my roomie (male) yell, "OMG what is that!?!!!!!"
That's what he gets for being nosey...

Rocky Mountain High!!
When we had LeRoy done a couple of years ago (he's WAAAY bigger then Vence!!!) he didn't recover nearly as quickly as the youngers boys did, and he swelled so big he walked like John Wayne. I thought he was gonna pop it was so big. Turns out RC wasn't hosing him right. You have to shove the hose all the way into the hole(s), until it won't go any further. Dr Jen Tacia is good at doing both from one incision, did Linda make two holes or one? (LeRoy needed two big holes)
Oh and RC wouldn't let me throw them onto the roof of the barn
Boy watched, and i didn't tell him at first what we were going to do....then she started cutting, and when she crunched the crimpers, he doubled over and ran into the house, all pale and stuff
Good grief kids growing up on a farm learn a lot really soon. Little cowgirl saw one of our mares get a live cover last Monday (I like to make sure I see at least one breeding), so i don't know how many live covers she's seen with me, now.
She actually complained that she missed "the talk" last night at Oakville about "it" i said you know all about "it" and what "it" means, we breed horses, dogs and have free range chickens She just said "maaaaaaaaa"

I have never seen "it" done before, only heard about it.
for Vence! for you too Paso and a great big
too!I'll bet you'll be 'NEEDIN" one 'bout now
Can you give him something to calm him down for a few days? At least untill his stitches heal?
Good luck Paso, hope all goes well.

NO stitches they are to heal from the inside out...we actually break the seal by hosing it 2 X day...after 20 hours which he has passed they want him to get all the excercise he can handle...even if I have to make him move..which I dont
