Has anyone ever used a elasticator/bander to neuter a dog? I've got a stray that needs to be fixed. Any advice?

i've known folks who have banded dogs & it worked........dog lived through it, too.

Ok, I've seen dogs bleed to death being cut, die from toxicity from being banded, and mutilate the farmer's arm from being pinched. (only saw one...) And you guys wonder why the heck animal rights activists are targeting farmers.?!?
I am not a bleeding heart liberal but what if it was YOU we were talking about. If the dog dies, and it's LIKELY, what have the kids learned? If it lives, it'll not be the same dog.
Spend the fifty bucks and get it done right!
GRRRRR

No stray dog is worth fifty bucks on my farm. Certherfbeef was right to begin with. While you may have seen them bleed to death cutting them , I have seen them not. I bet you have seen steers bleed to death to.I have never had that happen either. Vets are necessary but not for a stray for me.Vicki the Vet":3fvebucx said:Ok, I've seen dogs bleed to death being cut, die from toxicity from being banded, and mutilate the farmer's arm from being pinched.

Castration in my book isn't surgery. I have never seen nor heard of a Vet using anesthesia on a castration "patient"Running Arrow Bill":2sajh474 said:Think any "surgical" procedure should be done by a Vet using proper tools, antibiotics, anaesthetic. I've even heard of some people considering doing their own C-Section on a cow! Now that is really stupid thinking in my opinion. Some do-it-yourselfers seem to unknowingly run the risk of losing an animal to save a few bucks with DIY surgery...not very bright in my opinion.
Sometimes people forget that animals DO suffer pain! And without proper procedures, the animal can remember who beat up on them....
On a side note...back in the 1940's my dad did his own (knife) castrations. If he was still around and tried that on my herd I'd chase him off the property....![]()
