hi all-

i just read an article posted in one of the threads here about the side effects of neutering/spaying your yorkie before he/she reaches puberty. it said something about their bones growing abnormally and later causing hip problems...

anyways, that being said, have any of you waited until your baby was 1 yo before you got them fixed? my yorkie also needs to have some of his baby teeth removed and i only want to put him under once. he's got double rows of teeth on the top and bottom.

if i wait a year to get him neutered, is it bad that his baby teeth are in there that long?
