My vet wanted to spay Roxy at 7 mo. to give her a little more time for permanent teeth to come in. At time of spay, she only had to have 2 baby teeth removed. Vets don't want to put them under more than once to do both procedures usually. I would have preferred 6 mo, cuz I wanted it done before first heat. She hadn't started yet, so we were in time. Have read on here that some yorkies didn't come into their first heat until about a year old. I worried anyway. She did beautifully through the whole thing and just too good after! She was back to normal the following day. I was a wreck trying to keep her quiet. Had to crate her at times just to quiet her down.
She had been doing some humping prior to surgery, but we kept discouraging it & it never got real bad. The only time she does it now is when she's very excited & really not very often at all. Sidetracking her attention onto something else is pretty easy. |
