I know that there are many health benefits when it comes to 'fixing' your dog, but my family kind of regrets having my Yorkie Maddy spayed.
Our vet is AWESOME, but I feel like we weren't thorougly informed about the nature of the surgery. For example, we didn't know that we weren't supposed to feed Maddy before the surgery; so we're lucky that didn't complicate anything.
Also, Maddy was just PATHETIC after her surgery. She didn't move at all. She wouldn't eat or anything. My mom couldn't help but cry. It was very hard seeing our baby like that. It was days before Maddy had her strength back. It was about a week before she started eating solid food again (she had been only eating canned food).
We were told that Maddy's stitches could be removed a week after the surgery, but when we went to the vet, they said that her cut was abnormally swollen; so we had to wait 3 more days before they could be removed. We don't even know why it was swollen - Maddy had been resting and wearing her cone just like they told us.
Anyway, I feel like the consequences of fixing your Yorkie should be discussed more before you make the decision. I think my family decided to spay Maddy because we're new dog owners & we felt like we needed to do EVERYTHING the vet said do, but now we kind of regret having Maddy spayed. She hasn't been the same ever since.
Has anyone else regretted fixing their Yorkie?
