Re: Botched Neutering Job
I am going to start off with this, I am a vet tech (a highly educated one, not just the person who holds the dog at the vet, more like a nurse practitioner for pets) You would have to have the worse vet in the world to have messed up a neuter that bad where something was not put back together properly. If it were a female I would say the vet could have tied off the ureters by mistake while spaying but that is really rare.
What you need to do is have a urinalysis done to rule out infection or crystals (which bind together and from stones) in the urinary tract. In all honesty if it where my dog I would have an x-ray done to make sure there was not a bladder stone (very common in dogs).
I hope everything works out but I would go to another vet and have these test done.
If you can’t afford to go right now go to GNC and buy some cranberry supplement and give it to your dog it won’t hurt anything and may help if there is an infection or just crystal formation.
For legality sake I am not a veterinarian and this is just friendly advice given to an online buddy.
Re: Botched Neutering Job
could be a simple UTI, could be urine crystals, food allergy, could be a LOT of things. go to a different vet and see what they say. if they do, in fact, find it was related to the neutering, then you can proceed with talking to the first vet that neutered your dog.
Re: Botched Neutering Job
When a male dog is neutered where are the stitches usually? A few people thought it was kinda weird where they were, but I've never seen a male dog neutered before either so I don't really know.

they are on the shaft of the penis near the scrotum ( I hope I can say these things on here I mean them medically please dont ding me)
Re: Botched Neutering Job
I guess it just irked me when he didn't want to talk about it. He's got a pretty good reputation around here, but I've had only bad experiences with him. Sadly he's the only herp vet around, so I will have to use him for my snakes in emergencies, but we've found an excellent vet for our dogs. I wouldn't EVER recommend him to anyone.
Re: Botched Neutering Job
That's probrably for the best, sometimes personalities don't mesh and you should not got to a vet you don't trust or respect. Keep in mind and this is coming from someone who has worked with vets for over 12 years working my way from the kennels up. Vets like physicians can have a bit of a god complex and don't always respond well to questions so if he does not listen to you and answer your concerns go to someone who will
Re: Botched Neutering Job
I can't see how a neuter could cause that. I'd tend to agree with the other posters with a possibility of bladder crystals or stones. Also, back problems, like a pinched nerve or spasmed muscles, could have some effect.
A visit to a new vet that will do a urine test to see what that comes up with would be my reccomendation. He could have more than one issue, none of which are related to the neuter.
