As for the argument about growth plates needing to close at the magical year old mark is a very broad statement. I've posted about this before and that GENERAL rule is for all different size dogs. Larger dogs growth plate take longer to close than smaller breed dogs. We own small breed Yorkies with much smaller bones VS a Great Dane. IMO I think that you should chose an age that you feel comfortable with and if that's in the next few months so be it. It's not like you are planning not to spay you are asking what our opinions is regarding the correct age. To the person who posted about Dr. Mercola.....well I'm sure most here know my thoughts on him.

| First I'm no expert, if you are not experienced you should have Vet check and discuss Spaying/Teeth around 4 1/2 to 5 months. The Canines can cause serious irreversible problems if the don't come in right and push/dissolve the babies. This usually starts happening around 5 months, especially the lowers, if they come up inside and the baby teeth are stubborn, you might wind up with the canines resting in the upper palate. If the canine is half grown and baby tooth is solid, check with Vet, the baby tooth removal allows the perm tooth to grow out into that empty space for normal alignment. |

| Please remember they bounce back in two days or less sometimes, but you need to watch exertion for at least two weeks, I ddi three weeks with Ginger. The outer cut will heal in about a week, but it takes longer for the internal cut (Abdominal) to heal. You'll be able to feel it, swelling going down, sutures dissolving and such. |

| I'm not echoing my dear but there will always be people who think there opinion is the only opinion I just hope and pray that when give the correct info and facts they chose to follow them rather then others opinion. I will not bicker with you anymore I know I have post facts with science to back it up unlike some.

There are very sound reasons to wait to have a tiny dog spayed. Many times, but not all the time, they are not as strong as a regular sized dog just because of the kind of genetic manipulation that was done to develop a tiny. I would not risk putting a young tiny through a spay procedure not knowing if her heart could take it and also not being aware of future problems that may develop. That is my opinion and I have every right to state it. If your opinion differs then it is just your opinion against mine. I will not be misquoted or misrepresented by you! I would advise you once more....there are opinions and then there are facts. If you have an opinion---FINE! State it as just that, an opinion! Attacking people for not agreeing with you is counterproductive Not all dogs and not even a large percentage of dogs that go through a heat cycle develop mammary cancer so don't infer that they do. If you or anyone else does not believe me then look it up. The information is easy enough to find. I'm not going to do it for you. I am disgusted by you constant attacks on people who differ with you. | |
