Well....had to let you know how Mikey is doing with his "problem." Things were looking pretty grim for him....drainin g sticky stuff making a mess of his fur and making it stick to everything and pulling and hurting. I decided to go with my own instincts. I realized that it did have to drain, but, why should he be miserable. When he was in my presence I took the Ecollar off and let him clean himself up....didn't let him get to the area of draining, but let him clean up the sticky areas...he seemed to be happy with that. After a couple of days like that....I would have to collar him at night and when I couldn't be right with him...things really look good. Everything is back to a nice pink healthy tissue...he is comfortable and contented. There is still some minimal drainage, but the swelling has gone way down....now it is about the size it was before neutering....a nd they were really large then...the vet said she was surprised to find testicles that large in a dog of his young age....funny. So....looks like things are taking care of themself...as God intented. Let nature take it's course and it usually does a good job. Thanks so much for caring....mary
