Neutered tomorrow

[Nanno]

Thankfully, Pac-Man is out of the rut and hasn't been stinky for well over a month now, so I think he'll clean up nicely. Once the girls got bred and rejected him he quit peeing on himself. We've been able to hug and pet him a lot more in the last month. He was never all that bad to begin with, being such a young buckling. It seems once he quit breeding he put the energy into growing and he shot up like a weed. He was 60-70 lbs. when we got him (I know because I could still lift him into the back of our truck). About three weeks ago the weight tape said he was 95 lbs. to the younger girls' 105 lbs. and he's quite obviously bigger than them now. He's still not quite as big as Lilly, but he's getting close and I'm pretty sure he'll pass her up by the end of the month.

Pac-Man is trotting and jumping around already. I'm thrilled he had such a quick recovery! The vet left the sack in place and just removed their contents, so he'll always carry around a little "coin purse" as Dave calls it. I thought it was interesting Dr. Matt did it that way. I wonder if it is less traumatic.
