Well it is true that females who have babies still have a 1 in 4 chance of getting breast or uterine tumors and/or cancer just as any unspayed females, which is a huge reason why many people choose not to breed and spay early on. However most vets will still recommend breeding females get spayed eventually to prevent pyometria which is highly deadly, in fact I have known 2 toy dogs personally die from it and it broke the owner's hearts. And just doing a simple spay surgery could have prevented it.
Sweetpea, like I said Mia was not even 2 lbs when she was spayed, she was just 1 lb 10 oz actually, I did wait until after her first heat to try and get her at her highest weight, but to get the health benefits of spaying it is important to spay Misty before her second heat begins. |
