Suze, one of our boys is sterile as a result of a tumor in his prostate. There were no symptoms whatever that any of us knew about. His appetite and behavior remained the same. The little tumor was removed. No one knows if there had been a little injury to cause it, an infection, or what, but either the tumor or the removal of the tumor left him sterile. Cynthia could insist that he be treated with a good broad spectrum antibiotic and then keep him on some sort of homeopathic remedy like Glucoflex for the production of sperm and take a look at his sperm in 6 months before allowing him to be neutered. Vets are sometimes pretty fast to come up with the quick fix instead of giving the situation some time in deference to the fact that these are breeding animals. Myra Savant
