Re: Re: [RC] one testicle colt - hrsldyloryI waited until my colt was 2 years old. When it didn't drop I brought him in for surgery any way. As soon as the anesthetic took effect, the other dropped and ended up with a much smaller vet bill and happier colt.

JonniYes, our colt died during a procedure like this. Amber ============================================================ They're athletes! This is a partnership between horse and rider - we don't have any jockeys out there, just pals and partners. We'd allow a rider with a broken foot, a sore back and a nasty cold to compete - but we would never let a horse in a similiar condition hit the trail. ~ Dr. Barney Flemming DVM ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ============================================================ ============================================================ There is something so magical about being out at night after being on the trail all day on a long 100 with miles left to go. ~ Tom Noll ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ============================================================
