We took Chopper for the surgery...Went really well...and smoothly...
They let us be up in a little room connected to where they do surgery just like in a human hospital and we got to watch the whole thing! It's that far up that he's going through the side? huh...the vet we were at just went through an incision in his abdomen...and told us the other one was clear up by his kidneys, and that there was no way that puppy was comin down.

The vet will keep him overnite and I have set up a small pen under the shade tree in my back yard to keep an eye on him and to give him the medicines/wound care he will need. I am worried he will bust stitches or get an infection. I have only had him about 45 days but love him dearly. I have had a lot of colts gelded but never a crypt.

Cisco is home. He did well through his surgery and doesn't appear to be in too much pain. The incision is smaller than I expected and looks better too. His missing piece was all the way up by his kidney. He is on stall rest for the next 12 days and then he is on restricted excercise (basically he will go from a stall to a stall with a run) for two weeks after that. Then for the next 30 days he is able to be out in the pasture but no saddle time. I was suprised at how little the surgery cost too.

Missa,Good to hear things went well. do you mind me asking how much surgery was??.I have yearling colt that hasn't fully dropped {His sire was late at dropping too, but did in his yearling year} I Hoping he will drop soon but i'm not wanting to wait overly long to see so have considered taking him in anyway to get job done.

The surgery only cost $250. For a 'regular' gelding it is $100.
This morning he is still doing awesome. Was hollaring at me for his breakfast. Luckily we have storms moving through so it is nice and cool for his recovery.
