Oh gosh. Poor Ride he is such a sweetie So If you could take it back would you have neutered him at age 2? Do you think that would’ve been better I know we can’t take back time but it’s just a question I know we know what to do myself my last Border Collie neutered at age 7 and did an X-ray and came back OFA good which is good and he had no issues and died at age 15 but I’m not gonna wait till age 7 for this dog ,it’s such a hard decision I just wish he came neutered at eight weeks old even though I know that’s a bad bad thing I will go in and listen to that podcast thank you very much

I was advised by Ride's internal medicine vet not to neuter him as a young dog. He has eosinophilic inflammatory bowel disease and took a lot of medication to stabilize his immune system (continuous steroids, several immunosuppressants and antibiotics). Around age 6 I was told I could neuter him the next time he was already anesthetized for something else necessary. That time never came. He developed that prostate infection and that made the choice for us. To do it over again, I'd probably do it the same way. He was easy to live with intact. I don't think there is a wrong choice, just one that works for you, your dog and your household. I'd likely have neutered him before my young girl came into heat to avoid any oops and crating/seperating.

Hello I was wondering if you can give me your thoughts on not neutering my male Border Collie. I’ve heard good and bad and I just was wondering about your thoughts? Thank you very much
@emilywhisper3 жыл бұрын
I'm no expert, just an owner. My personal preference is to wait until *at least* age 2 to neuter or spay. The current research suggests male BCs can be neutered after age 1 with no significant additional risk of cancer or joint disease. Ride was neutered at age 8 after a big prostate infection that landed him in ICU for a week. As a result of the neuter, he has urinary incontinence controlled by medication. CogDog Radio (podcast) did an excellent podcast on this topic a week or so ago. Worth checking out. The vet she had on was excellent IMO. The research I spoke about is linked here: www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fvets.2020.00388/full

I think he hides an injury well at a trot. I also think he's trying damn hard to stay at a trot vs anything else. But his reach isn't equal/symmetrical. The tiny snip of gallop isn't long enough but in real life, it looks really uncomfy. Still looking for answers about what is going on here. Ortho consult 1 wasn't useful. Neuro exam isn't great but MRI from last Fall revealed nothing. More to come.

load 1: excellent drive 1: roughly 100', no issues load 2: didn't follow me right to the car as to say "open itttttttt" but as soon as I called her she was there. Smooth loading. drive 2: roughly 100' (to the gate), can't see her face for most of it but nothing jumps out at me. did some rewarding then took a few minutes to chill and decompress, as though the car is a working session (it is). Now the car is at the gate which is a weird place for her to load.She also rarely goes to the gate, preferring to stay up by the house. load 3: she follows me to the gate without calling! Hops in easily! She appears relaxed, even lying down in her crate. note the video is super bumpy here because of how I anchored it.Then it fell and I lost 2 minutes of driving. But when I opened the door, she was cool as a cucumber. Total driving to the end of the road and back.

She moves towards and we play some treat and retreat with high value food. 3:15 When I stand up, she stalls and walks away. I walk away and come right back to the car to sit on bumper to continue treat and retreat. She's 10' away lying down. 3:35 she moves towards me and gets several clicks (treat and retreat again). 4:50 pull a ball and play 5:13 back to treat and retreat, she transitions from ball to food well. 5:29 until she prefers to play alone with the ball instead of eating food for coming closer. Takes her ball to lie down 10' away. MAN I LET THIS SESSION DRAG ON WAYYYYYYYYYYYYY TOO LONG. 5:40 she brings me the ball, click. Offers to load for the ball repeatedly. This is just too concussive on her front end to do repeatedly.
