"Nudered" for neutered

Though in most cases it’s probably just people spelling this word as it sounds to them, I started thinking tonight that perhaps its an eggcorn to at least some of them. Thinking along the lines of “nude” being related in most people minds to the sex organs, that might be a connection. Also, there’s the aspect of having something removed, and thus being nude, etc.

Tons of ghits for nudered, though its best to include the word pet in your search to avoid tons of links to pornography.
