i’m bumping this because i have a problem.
when Bev had Max, she noticed that other entire girls hated him. all others were fine, including entire boys. in fact they were very nice to him.
she suggested having a sex hormone profile done which i did and it has come back as a probable testicular tumor. his testosterone was v high and so was his eostrogen.
treatment is castration and then test the levels again in a few months time, or, sperm sample to more properly diagnose, then castration if positive.
castration without firm diagnosis seems pretty drastic but the vet had consulted a specialist and that was his opinion. it couldnt be any other cause, although he is extremely young to have it.
does anyone know how they get a sperm sample? or any other reason why his sex hormones are so out of kilter?
