I had intended to fix pixie after her first heat, but I thought it would never come... till she was 18 months! And by then I had read so many horror stories I was afraid to do it! and her cycle was so easy to deal with that i was not RUNNING to the vet to "fix" things! lol
Now Chynna Bled like a stuck pig! And boy was that a nightmare! and she started full on a few days before I left town for 14 days, so my Hubby had to deal with the bulk of it!  I can't even begin to tell you how thrilled he was with that! LOL
But he did good! Not a single spot on the sofa and NO diaper chafing on Chynnas naked skin! He is a champ!  |
I waited til Ellie was 6 to get her spayed and that is only because her new vet really wanted to do it.
I was just asking because you said something about preventing cancer and any dog who has been through three heats is not protected from it at all (except for uterine which isn't that common) even if they are spayed. It does prevent pyometra and a few toher things though.
