Ethics aside (and I strongly believe in the ethics), one was undescended and it was causing prostate problems. But, man, seeing him mope and limp like this is kind of heartbreaking.

I wonder whose self-esteem is really in question.

(23,995 posts)They feature a story about Kim Kardashian's dog getting "neuticled." Maybe this product is a joke after all. Kim Kartrashian certainly is.

(8,776 posts)Saw an actress IIRC Kristen Bell on a youtube clip of the Craig Ferguson Late Late Show talk about this product and for some strange reason the "neuticles" caught in my mind.
Did an internet search for this OP and found the link (and never actually read but the beginning of the link) -- I had actually searched on "nads" and artificial dog testicles.
My aching mind.
I have no idea nor interest in why the Kardashians exist in the popular culture.

The coincidence here is amazing.

(4,373 posts)An old woman's fairy godmother appears to her and says "Old woman, you've been an exceptional person - kind, generous, honest...in short a wonderful woman. As a reward, I'll give you three wishes.
The old woman, rocking on her front porch, pondered the issue. "Well first, I'd like to be rich."
BAM! Her rocking chair turns into solid gold.
"And I'd like to be young and beautiful."
BAM! She's suddenly young and gorgeous.
As she's thinking about her third and final wish, her cat jumps onto the porch. The old lady has always favored this cat, so she makes a decision, "I want you to turn the cat into a young and handsome man."
BAM! Suddenly a young and incredibly hot man is standing on the porch. He looks lovingly into her eyes and leans forward to whisper, "Now aren't you sorry you had me neutered?"
In answer to your question, probably not.

You have a very rare condition, which causes your testicles to press on your spine, and the pressure creates one hell of a headache. The only way to relieve the pressure is to remove the testicles."
Joe was shocked and depressed. He wondered if he had anything to live for. He couldn't concentrate long enough to answer, but decided he had no choice but to go under the knife.
When he left the hospital he was without a headache for the first time in 20 years, but he felt like he was missing an important part of himself. As he walked down the street, he realized that he felt like a different person. He could make a new beginning and live a new life. He saw a men's clothing store & thought, "That's what I need - a new suit."
He entered the shop and told the salesman, "I'd like a new suit." The elderly tailor eyed him briefly and said, "Let's see ... size 44 long." Joe laughed, "That's right, how did you know?" "Been in the business 60 years!" Joe tried on the suit. It fit perfectly.
As Joe admired himself in the mirror, the salesman asked, "How about a new shirt?" Joe thought for a moment and then said, "Sure." The salesman eyed Joe and said, "Let's see, 34 sleeve & 16-1/2 neck." Again, Joe was surprised, "That's right, how did you know?" "Been in the business 60 years!"
Joe tried on the shirt, and it fit perfectly. As Joe adjusted the collar in the mirror, the salesman asked, "How about new shoes?" Joe was on a roll and said, "Sure." The salesman eyed Joe's feet and said, "Let's see ... 9-1/2 E." Joe was astonished, "That's right, how did you know?" "Been in the business 60 years!"
Joe tried on the shoes and they fit perfectly. Joe walked comfortably around the shop and the salesman asked, "How about some new underwear?" Joe thought for a second and said, "Sure." The salesman stepped back, eyed Joe's waist and said, "Let's see... size 36."
Joe laughed. "Ah ha! I got you! I've worn size 34 since I was 18 years old." The salesman shook his head, "You can't wear a size 34. A size 34 underwear would press your testicles up against the base of your spine and give you one hell of a headache.

(15,220 posts)He will forgive you. In no time, in fact. Just give him a little extra attention and love while he recovers.
Thank you for doing the responsible thing. I see way too many dogs and cats that don't make it out of our local shelter. It's heartbreaking. The solution is "those ethics". Spay and neuter.
