RE: [RC] timing of gelding - Jo Ann Knight

Just sticking my two cents worth in about the walking to help with drainage
and swelling.

I had to use ice bags due to being unable to walk enough just before I got
my first knee surgery.  I gelded mine at three, was taught it best to let
them develop the body awhile.  I don't know if this was really necessary. 
He wasn't difficult, never acted study till just before being gelded.

To compensate for the lack of sufficient walking I used ice on him for 20
min at a time.  He actually even held his back leg up one time when I seemed
to have problems adjusting, forget the exact circumstances (I thought it
must have looked hilarious).  I asked the vet if ice would work.  He said it
would but i'd get kicked and he didn't recommend it.  Well I did it anyway
and it went well for us.

Jo Ann
