Peggy, Have you ever heard of the testicles being removed and replaced with
steel?
We found a wounded Sib. Huskey on our front porch 2 yrs. ago and took
him to the vets who fixed his leg then put him under anesthesia and found he
had "neuticals". He asked if I showed him and I said no , I just found him
hurt on my porch!
The vet said that some people neuter their males then show them that
way!
Linda Ski--P.S. we named him "Newt"
