Maggie May's breeder said that if you spay too early, it can cause problems with the "growth plates". I asked the vet about this and she said that it could do that so I would imagine that since that is skeletal it can contribute. I do not know how much one has to do with the other but it does make sense. sorry, I'm no help. Good luck with her lp. Been there, done that with Hot Rod. Hugs, B |
