i was just reading someones posting about neutering and i had a question.... when it comes to neutering males do they always remove the poms or sometimes?? what makes the dr decide to remove them completly?? if the doctor gives me the choice to have them removed or not which would be the better choice? because if they remove them i know there would be some kind of glue or stitches and id be afraid he'd overgroom the incision site?!? does removing them make a difference in scent? i know neutering will decrease the smell.

Most vets leave the poms, mine did. It seems to reduce SMing. There is a sticky on neutering under "Health and Hygiene" that explains what to expect and the best way to do it. It sure helped me!

I just had one neutered this morning...pom left on. He was number 22 I've had neutered, all had their poms left on.

When they remove the scrotal sac, they have to use sutures and/or glue to close the incision... The glider goes after them because they are foreign objects on their body When they leave the scrotal sac intact, they usually use such a tiny incision that they don't have to use either glue nor sutures to close it and the glider is more apt to leave it alone

Most vets, if not experienced with gliders, will take the poms unless you specifically ask them not to and explain the reason why... Even then, sometimes they insist on taking the poms. That's what happened with my Gizmo. I took him in, the vet agreed NOT to take the poms off, and then during surgery changed her mind Gizmo DID end up SMing and I had to have him in an e-collar for a few days post-op Needless to say, my vet got an earful! (And she also told me that she has now learned her lesson...)

Once the insides are gone, they really don't drop down that far. My two boys have never got it caught on anything - wow, what a painful thought!
