dou you measure the size of your testicles before the injection?
What size of needle used?
Do you mix your cacl2 with alcohol, or do you inject the pure cacl2?
your cacl2 is food grade, reagent grade?
good luck !:)
Hi, have been on spiro and depro for about a year.used a 25 gauge needle. Bought food grade 33% CaCl which I mixed with Spyritus polish vodka to get 20% injectable . Didnt measure testicles but have had them for a long time so have a fairly good idea of their size. I injected both through the bottom as per the demo on the vet website. Interestingly I have had no pain at all in the right testicle, it has all been in the left one . Both have however swollen about the same amount.I can only think I got the injection site just right for the right and not quite as good for the left. The Vet stuff suggests that the dogs dont have much discomfort so it may be that with really good injection placement there really is little or no pain.
update
day three still very swollen and hot. Pain from balls hardly worth taking any pills except there is still occasional sharp pain up into the abdomen from the left ball about once an hour. Both are very tender if handled but much less than in day 2.
Day 4. have not had a single sharp pain today. swelling down significantly in scrotum ,balls still swollen, probably twice original size, and tender to handle but clearly on an easing trajectory.Can masturbate with no problem or pain but as I had a vasectomy years ago the fluid is mostly prostate anyway.
My intention is to watch them shrink for a couple of months and if necessary give them another shot before going to medics for removal.
will keep you posted
