Same topic, but a slightly different question...
What have your vets recommended for aftercare??
When Mingus was gelded, our vet was adamant that he be lunged at a trot (must be at a trot) for 20 minutes per day. She did not tell me, but I quickly realized that he needed a good warmup before he could trot, and then I walked him afterward to minimize soreness.
She did not recommend hosing him down, but stressed that I call if there was any swelling.
I'm always a bit surprised to hear vets who do not insist oon this or whoh leave aftercare entirely up to the owner. This particular practice asked up front if he was livestock or a pet, and if I had had a horse gelded before, so I'm sure a lot of this was handholding, which I greatly appreciated. Nonetheless, I was a basketcase, LOL...
We'll have a little challenge when Flash is gelded, a heh has a phobia about the lunge whip and drops to the ground when he sees it (I've never touched him with a whip and never struck him in any way) He loves to trot alongside me, so it looks like I'm going to get some exercise!
