In humans, we don’t usually castrate them because it throws their hormones out of whack, and causes all kinds of issues, but wouldn’t that also be the case for some animals, since their hormones systems are fairly similar?

Why is it that that we remove the testicles entirely, rather than giving them vasectomies like we do for humans?

    I always though they lob them off, but in reality the inside of the testicles is taken out and the skin “bags” remain andbin time the skin just evens out down there.

    At least that’s how our vet did it.

      Yes, the testicles are removed and they don’t cut material off the ballsack.

      I think you meant lop, not lob. At least I hope vets aren’t yeeting pet testicles.
