Riley is 7 1/2 months and was neutered a week before his 6 month birthday. After he was neutered his 'furry bits' were completely flat as were Lucas'. I've noticed in the last week or so that he seems to be expanding in that area, almost to the point that he doesn't look neutered anymore :shy: Lucas has remained fairly flat and there is definitely a noticeable difference between the two of them which there wasn't after they were neutered.
Is this type of thing normal? Has anyone else with a neutered male experienced a re-growth?
-
Without sounding like a perv Helen ... but have you had a little feel to see if there you can feel any "lumps".
-
unlikely to be a regrowth. more likely some sort of fluid build-up inside the scrotum. Possibly just plasma but I would be off to the vet quick smart to make sure it is not an infection - any other signs like heat, off colour, less energetic??

No :shy: I know it sounds silly but not sure I can bring myself to do that, I have a close up pic though :shy:

He's completely normal in himself - hyper, happy and eating like a horse.
-
:rofl: :rofl:Y :rofl: You big wuss!
I would get him off to the vet if you are concerned in any way.
-
could just be a bodily reaction to the operation. I would be inclined to keep an eye on him rather than panic too soon. One symptom is less worrying than several...
-
OK, I've just touched the aforementioned area on both of them :sick: The only difference is that Riley's feels like there is more skin, was sort of rolling it between my fingers, sorry far too much info I know but hard to explain otherwise. Riley's fur is dark grey in that area and Lukey's is a very light grey so maybe it's just the difference in colour that makes them look so different.
Think I'll give the vets a ring on Monday and ask if he needs to be seen, I'm not at all worried about him in himself (or wasn't). Was hoping others would say they have the same too.
-
an optical illusion could certainly be contributing. Unless Lynn thinks you should be concerned, I would settle for just keeping an eye on him. :Luv:
-
OK, I've just touched the aforementioned area on both of them :sick:
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: sorry Helen I just have a mental imagine of you touching up your boys with a look of complete and utter horror on your face! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I had a sort of disgusted sneer on my face, still partly there now. Just feels very wrong :sick:
Do you think anyone would be offended if I posted the 'close up'? That way people with neutered males could hopefully say whether their boys are that sort of size. Happy not to if people think it's a bit too weird :evillaugh:
-
Go for it .... post the pic I can't see why anyone would be offended ... nothing like a bit of "kitty porno" to pass a Friday evening away!
-
This is the gutterpress thread :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
-
Ok just for you I have just rolled Spike over, had a little look and a little feel then I rolled Spotty over had a look and a feel (both neutred) then I rolled Homer over (he is still intact at the moment) and I cannot actually see any difference. I would say that Homer is marginally larger but not much.
Don't suppose that helps really, does it?
:really:
-
I think we have all seen a lot worse than that :rofl: :rofl:
-
Thanks Yvonne, that's actually quite reassuring. Will upload the pic now... Apologies in advance to anyone of a delicate disposition :shy:
-
OK, Riley - sorry about the size of the pic. I've got a new PC and the resizer tool on Vista only does huge, this size or too tiny to even see :innocent:

-
Although not an expert I would say they look fine and quite normal to me.
-
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
Oh, poor Riley! How could you, Helen? :evillaugh:
I've had one or two boys do this to me as well. Tigger had the finest pair of 'falsies' in the street. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
-
I'd love to hear what you'd say to the vet if you took him :rofl:
-
I'd just say Erm, what it is, well, *clears throat* etc etc
Do Mosi and Jaffa have a similar *ahem* profile?
-
Can't say I really spend much time looking at their rear ends! Mosi has long hair to hide his, and I don't think Jaffa has much visible back there ;) But he is 10 - what was left after neutering has probably shrivelled up long since ;D
-
I have two, yes two boys asleep on Misas desk but their giant tails are hiding all the parts that should be private and I am not going looking in all that fur cos I think Misa would give me a good scratching :rofl:
-
:rofl: :rofl: sorry Helen but couldn't resist a giggle on that one. Not sure I could bring myself to do it either.......
Poor Riley having himself exposed on the Internet :evillaugh:
Phil is now talking about the cats bits and I feel slightly traumatised :evillaugh:
-
What's Doc's profile like then? :shy:
I'll make it up to Riley - have just taken quite possibly the cutest pic ever of him :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: Oooh, and a really cool video of a playfight on their tower. Will do him his very own 'cute pic' thread another day :evillaugh:
-
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
'falsies'!
Benjy, my little neighbour who I fostered during his recuperation from being neutered, has a similar setup, Helen - he's about 16 months old now and is showing no signs AT ALL of having any testosterone in circulation so I'm happy to accept that it's just how things are and nothing to worry about.
Bless you... that's just what being a mum of little boys is like really :rofl: it's all willies and testicles...
-
Helen, I have, in my time, seen many odd sights but I can honestly say I've never seen a close-up of a cats 'nads' before :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

You should try living with any Aby .... you'd get to have a close up of Kitty nads regularly! Zephyr takes great delight in parading round the house with his tail straight up in the air flashing his bits to the world. :rofl:
-
my goodness - we know these boys well dont we!!!!!
cant really help, but know tan has a mug proving cody is somewhat present, even after neutering :-:
-
Well, after the vets cut Smokey up to spay him >:( he was neutered properly. They left everything behind though. I questioned this with CP and they said that's what they do sometimes these days (not needlessly cut open male cats...). Apparently they don't need to remove the whole lot now. He doesn't look like he's been done at all but he displays no other signs of being entire.
It does make me quite squeamish of grooming him in that area though :sick: don't want to hurt him!
-
George was well endowed and remained so after neutering until i gave him a good combing and found that it was 50% old hair in that area :evillaugh: he lost his street cred after that :rofl:
-
It's reassuring to hear that others remain well endowed in that area. Don't think I'll be ringing the vets after all then, would have been very embarrasing and even more so to hear that it's quite common :shy:
-
After Bailey was neutered at 6 months...I too noticed his very pronouced 'man bits' when he was about 1 year old and he had started spraying in the house..So i did the daft embarrssing thing and took him to the vets to get checked!!!!
I had all the staff laughing as they initally asked me down the phone to feel him to see if there was anything inside his wee sacs! But not having felt a cat's 'rude bits' before I wasn't sure what I was feeling for!!!! :rofl:
Then I got my vet nurse neighbour to 'feel' and look...but she was also unsure!!!
So a trip to the vets finally confirmed that they were just sacs of loose skin!!!
Poor Bailey had been well and truely exposed of all his privacy by the end!!!!
-
Thanks Suzi, I did have a little feel in the end :sick: luckily I have his brother to compare him to and if anything Riley's just felt like there was more skin. I'm glad I didn't go as far as taking him to the vets :shy:
-
weirdo!!!!!! :Crazy: :Crazy: :Crazy:
:evillaugh: :hug:
-
No need for a vet visit Helen, He's still got a bit to go to catch up with codys large non existant bits :evillaugh:

Goodness. That's a large parcel of nothing Lynn!!
This thread reminds me of a former neighbour whose pedigreed persian boy was the subject of heated discussions in the house. She wanted him fixed. He wanted him kept intact (for no reason other than male sympathy at the horror of it all). So one day Daryl sets off to work and Bev got a taxi to the vets and had Corky fixed. When Daryl got home, Corky still had evidence of dampness around his rear end, but the long hair covered the evidence. Bev explained to Daryl that poor Corky had had the most terrible bout of diarrhoea so she had had to take him to the vet. As Daryl could see Corky was damp around his nether parts and not his usual bouncy self, he fell for it hook line and sinker. The entire village kept the secret and it was the source of much amusement when Daryl pointed to local long-haired kittens as evidence of Corky's 'achievements' :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
