plan to neuter hiki oso when she is 7mths old. hope everything will be fine.. is female operation more complicated n risky compare to male?

oh haha! i've seen this before on other dogs around my area. looks very alien-ish. okay thanks for the info i'll check it out when i go to the vet next month for my poodle's next vaccination. btw one last question, my friend says she saw on a show, they put in silicon b_lls into the down part after removing the real ones?

Some people (i think mostly in America) will opt to have 'prosthetic testicles' implanted either to replace those removed during a neuter or to cover up where an undescended testicle is (sometimes one or both of the pups balls don't drop). It is totally pointless and a waste of money in my opinion, no vet in Malaysia will do it as standard and i'm pretty sure it would be hard to find one who would offer this service .

@berry5788 - A spay (the female neutering) is a slightly longer and more complicated surgery as it is more internal (for a neuter a vet makes a small incision at the base of the penis and then basically 'pops' the balls out whereas for a spay the vet has to make a decent sized incision in the dog's side or belly area and remove the entire womb). However it is still a relatively routine procedure and the benefits still far outweigh the risks.

I would suggest going to a vet you know is a decent surgeon for spaying as a not so careful vet could leave a small piece of the womb inside that can cause complications or nick the stomach, intestines or other nearby organs while removing the womb which would cause an infection (these both occur rarely, but its always good to know all the risks).

@soekma88 - There are hundreds of different ways you can clip a poodle that are nothing like the continental (the standard show clip). We can discuss it anytime you are ready (the longer coat your dog has, the more options we have to play around with ).

do you have any places to recommend? or is it any licensed vet will do?

If you are around Subang/Puchong, I like Dr Vijay (Healing rooms), Dr Ding (StAngels) and Dr Edmond (sorry forgot his clinic name but can get you the contact details) for surgeries. I heard from others that Dr Ding does good surgery (and have experience with him during checkups) and have had multiple good experiences with both Dr Vijay and Dr Edmond (Dr Edmond did the emergency c-section + spay when my poodle pups were having issues, plus his stitching work is very neat which is always a bonus).

Any good vet will do. I always recommend having 1 or 2 vets that you know well and trust. Before a spay/neuter you need to go for a checkup anyway so you can see how you feel about a few vets before deciding on who will do the surgery if the first one you visit doesn't fill you with confidence.

right now my poodle is getting his vaccination at St Angel's Animal Medical Centre @ Equine Park. so far it has been all well, very good service and stuff. the doctor is very good as well

hmm..u visit the equine park there? mine de oso equine park but us Baby Pet Surgery. where u stay? but sometime the Kuchai Lama de Lee Veterinary clinic. nice to meet u ah..

I would like to apologize if my tone is too harsh but how can a so called pet-caring SPCA Malaysia mentioned the name of the girl (videographer) wrongly?

At first it stated Doreen Loo (second paragraph) and later Dorren Lee (third paragraph).

Really sick! I doubt if SPCA M'sia could do something to the abusers.

Hellow everyone,

welcome mtv, gugu and rocky...

Oh.. 'mtv' punya baby - Rocky is with me now... he doesn't want to sleep on his bed, he is sleeping on my lap.... LOL

Just now I brought him home, I almost couldn't drive, he didn't want to sit on the car seat, he climbed over to me and sat on my laps...

Yes, he is very manja!!! Loves attention.. But when u tell him NO Sternly, he will listen.. I hope he behaves!

I think I've managed to stop him from stepping out from my house door. Have bathed him and he is sleeping now.... shhhh....

Yesterday me, my mother and my brother couldn't sleep, he didn't want to sleep alone. So we took turn to sleep beside him at the living room. Every moment I stood up from the sofa, he was so alert to it and would follow me going upstairs.

Such a baby!! I will normally put his bed beside mine.. He will sleep on his bed, but I will wake up with him beside me the next morning!! Such a cheeky little fellow..

and yes he is very alert. .very energetic and wont leave u alone... such a follower too. . will follow u everywhere, even when you go toilet, he will wait for u outside the toilet door..

poor mum n bro ! hope they're allrite with this lil attention seeker..
