Male neutering has a completely different set of pros and cons, and the data are much more nebulous (except from a population control and behavioral standpoint). | |

I have no belief one way or the other, other than a tantalizing research paper on hormone effect on maturation of ligamentous structures. But it is possible.... More research is needed. And why not when a very expensive and debillating condition affecting over 30% of the breed might be or not be affected by delaying a bit in timing of s+n? What am I saying is only this- to look at the research, make an informed decision. I as I have yet exhaustively said on this thread for FEMALE Yorkies the specific research is sparse but other research in the main on medium to large breed dogs - do show an increased risk of pyrometra for *unbred females* and an increase for all Mammary Tumours - of which 50% are benign. And let us not forget that even with MT cancer it does have a high cure rate. The timing of spay is what I question for females. For yorkies we don't have a suggestion towards the answer. What if I delay spaying a female by 6mths how would it negatively impact her health? How would it benefit her health? This as far as I am aware for s+n all breeds of dogs at 6 months old whether male or female, has no hallmark scientific studies to justify this decision.

| That is the issue there aren't any. And I think we can all agree large dogs develope, grow and age a lot differently then small dogs. Since there are not studies on small dogs let alone yorkies we can't say all these cons really exist when there is no proof. I researched the crud out of hypothyroidism when Callie was diagnosed and it is a genetic issue and not caused by early spay an nueter and there's not anything I could find that said otherwise. It dosent shock me it's genetic, Callie's genes suck. She came from a puppy mill and did not get lucky with healthy genes like some do.

| Yeah done with this thread. The only proof out there shows you should spay not that you shouldn't but some people will always change facts or just get sarcastic and act like they are smarter then everyone else. Whatever I'm out.

| The Swedish insurance study on mammary tumors and pyometra that we discussed most recently analyzes many small breeds, and has good data for Yorkies in particular. And the review article that I gave a link to the PDF for earlier this afternoon has breed-specific information, including Yorkies where appropriate, in the cost/benefit analysis tables, as well as in the discussion section. |
