Scrotal ablation means removal of the scrotal sack. In the UK this is rarely performed, although it is more common in other countries. Most scrotums shrink and are barely noticeable once a dog has been castrated, but some people worry that it ‘looks funny’ and ask the vet to remove it at the time of castration.
Is scrotal ablation necessary?
In many cases, scrotal hematomas are a relatively mild complication that will resolve with time. In some patients, however, scrotal hematomas may become large enough to compromise blood flow within the scrotum. These patients may develop necrosis of the scrotal skin, ultimately requiring scrotal ablation for treatment.
How much is a scrotal ablation?
If your dog has excessive scrotal skin talk to your vet about whether an ablation is also indicated for your dogs neuter. At our clinic a dog neuter is $225 and the scrotal ablation is an additional $150. Diesel was also prescribed an NSAID for pain and inflammation and in some cases an e-collar.
