| Neuter Fears???? Hi everyone. Bruno is now 15 weeks old and weighs about 2 lbs 11 ounces. People keep asking, "have you neutered him yet?" I'm afraid because I've heard stories of tiny yorkies never waking up because they administer too much anethesia. Advice? Also, is it true if you neuter real early like 3-4 months they are bigger because they loose their growth hormones? Thankyou everyone!

| I'm having the same dilema. I had my first baby girl, Cece, spayed when she was almost a year old and after that she's been having seizures and will be on medication the rest of her life. After that ordeal, it really scared me and now, my Brownie is four years old and is still not spayed yet. She's a whopping 3.5lbs and I'm afraid that she's not going to come out of the operating room like her old self again. I've put off spaying her, but now since I've been on this forum, it seems like almost everyone here is FOR spaying or neutering. Are there any of you out there that still have un-spayed/un-neutered pets (not breeders)? What are the pros/cons of spaying?

| Yeah, I'd absolutely WAIT! There is A LOT of misinformation out there! If you can wait until he is around SIXTEEN MONTHS, I would. I'm actually out of town and not on one of my personal computers, but I've got something that I think you'd like to read. I know I've posted up on this forum before about spay/neuters and I think that if you did a search on such, or if you look up my screen name and look at all my posts you might find it posted within the relative past. Otherwise, if you PM/e-mail me I'll be sure to get the article to you once me and my new fur kid arrive back home tomorrow afternoon! ~Leslie Wooldridge |
