| Spay @ same time ? Hello friends, I have tried searching the archives with my question, no success. We have two girls, ages 9.5 months & 8 months. When the time comes to have them spayed, should we have them both spayed @ the same time, or is better to "stagger" them ? Any advice/comments are welcome & appreciated !!! |

Phantom Queen Morrigan Donating Member | i'd have it done at the same time. Better to get them both done and over with at the same time. they might even bounce back faster after surgery

Donating YT 30K Club Member | I would have it done at the same time. Last summer I had Pixie scheduled for a dental the same day as Roxie's spay but Roxie came into heat a few days before so I had to reschedule her. I thought it would be nice for them to have each other during the day at the vets and they would be less afraid. JMO

| Thank you for the advice Patty & Kalina, Thank you, that makes sense, it's nice to have affirmation though. They are very close and this will be another experience they go through together. |

| Ya if I had 2 I would do it at the same time too!! When are you thinking about doing it?? Also make sure ( if you are going to) they do their Microchip when they are under and if they have any baby retained teeth that need to be pulled out...its best to do all that when they are under ! Good luck let us know!!

| We had our male and female done at the same time so they would have the same down time

| I did the same thing with Chelsea & Murphy. It worked out great.

| Great input !!! We're going to have them spayed very soon. We're definitely going the microchip route, and are probably going to have to have teeth pulled (did your puppies have "dual fangs" by any chance ?). My wife thinks it's funny since her Yorkie before these two had perfect teeth with no problems. As an aside, I couldn't help but notice lovespandp is from Corona CA, I was born and raised there !!!! What a coincidence. Thanks again to everyone who took the time to reply. |
