    Probing a male or female incorrectly can lead to internal damage, infection, and other complications. In males, a mistake can result in the inability to reproduce.

    Popping incorrectly can cause internal damage to body stuctures such as the spine and reproductive organs.

    .......there are NO pros to popping or probing without experience.

    I'm sure he means the Vet at Banfield...the animal hospital inside most Petsmarts.
