This is a subject that has me wondering. Yesterday on Fox News there was a story that said dogs/bitches that are neutered before six months of age have a greater chance of getting cancer. They also went on the explain other problems early neutering causes. Unspayed females have a greater chance of getting mammary tumors if they are spayed after their first season. Also, if a female is not spayed you have serious concerns about them getting pyometra. Just based on all the different pros and cons I have been hearing, I would recommend getting dogs and bitches neutered after they are 6 months old and before 7 months of age. While it is possible for a female to come in heat before 7 months I have never had one of mine come in heat that early.JMHO |
