Is anyone familiar with the male neutering procedure where rather than
remove the testicles, they perform something similar to a vasectomy?

I never heard of this but a bredder indicated that is what her vet
does.

It's not something done in the Uk that I am aware of, I work in a
veterinary clinic and no one has talked about this or heard anyone
that does it here.

There was a Furry guy who used to post here who was rabid about
vasectomies and tubals instead of traditional speutering. His kink
was *not* okay.

Apparently there are vets who will do those surgeries, but I have no
idea how many. It seems to me that it would defeat the purpose of
speutering for most folks.

If the *ultimate* purpose is to not produce more unwanted puppies, then it
seems like that would be a grand solution for the folks that are squicked
out by full neutering of male dogs.

I know a few guys that would probably consider Vasectomies for their dogs
if they were available, but instead just insist on keeping them intact
because they can't bring themselves to "de-nut" their dog.

And getting tubes tied would be a far less invasive surgery than a full
hysterectomy for females. Less costly too, I'm guessing.


I could see a decent market for those services. And I wish they were more
prevalently availabel to folks. More choices, when it comes to keeping the
numbers of animals out of shelters, can only be a good thing, IMO
