Thanks so much for your sympathies. I've never cried so much since I was 2 years old, and I've gone through 2 marriages and many boyfriends during her lifetime. She was my one constant that supported me through everything. The tears are pouring down my face even now, 2 1/2 months after her death. The on-line chats and message boards only make me feel worse.
ALL of the vets really advised that she be spayed because of those 2 reasons. I never got her spayed because I was ensuring that she was NEVER unsupervised around other dogs, even when not in heat. I thought that we don't normally "spay" humans, so why put her through the surgery. Was I ever wrong. I guess it must have just been a quirk of my own dog.
Does allowing a dog to have a litter stop the false pregnancies? I'm only asking out of curiosity. |
