| Heat/Cancer???? I have heard that if your girl goes into heat accidentally before you spay her her chances of getting cancer increase almost 50%???? but if they are a breeding dog or have at least one litter there fine. I have also heard that it is Good to let your girl go through one heat before spaying her?! Does anyone know the right answer to this? |

I have no idea if this is right. I have a 14 year old Shih Tzu that I did not get spayed until she was 3 1/2 years old and she has never been sick other than with her teeth and she had to have major dental work last year. I guess they are just like people some will get cancer and some won't. Wish I could be of more help.

| If they go through one heat, the increase is approx 8-10%. It increases with each heat thereafter.
