Well I made the appt. to have little Cam gelded a week from Fri....against hubbys wishes!! what is it with him, its not like they are cutting his jewels off .
Anyway I just wanted to ask what medications/ointments or things that I may need for after care. Things that I may not usually have on hand.
Also in your experience do they do the surgery in the stalls or just out on the grass with sheets on the ground. I know these are maybe silly questions but... do you or would you remove shavings and just work on the stall mats ( course we would put a sheet down) stalls are plenty big enough or just put sheet right over clean shavings? Also what are your thoughts on shavings vs straw......for a few days after? Is one cleaner or less dusty than the other...will just add that the shavings I use are large flake.
I would like to have everything all ready and be prepared when my vet gets here so it all goes smooth...any other suggestions or thoughts are always appreciated. Cam will have his old small pasture back so he can exercise and not play rough with some of the other boys and he is now going on long walks with me without throwing hissy fits not being able to see his buddies...which will be nice.
Thanks
