Just look at that face! He's like, "OMG, I can't belive you took those pix of me!"

just wanted to post this for anyone who is about to have a pig neutered so they know what they can expect. I was worried about the look of his bits for awhile, the swelling made it look bad for about a week after.

Erin, that is very helpful! I get calls all the time from shelters in L.A. whose vets cannot sex pigs. I think part of the confusion is that they are not finding testicles on some neutered males and thus think it's a female.

If you look at the 3.5weeks pic., you can actually see a face.

Two beedy little eyes, longish nose...

Lynx, can you change the misspelled title of this thread? Neuter is the correct spelling.
