 Early spay/neuter
Irene~ (or anyone who knows)
What is involved in the Earky spay/neuter because this apparently what my Hefner had done.
I was not told when I adopted him that he was already neutered. She told me a conversation about a week later that I didn't to be concerned if his testicles didn't drop because they were already gone. This upset me a little, because, although I had no plans to breed him, I felt at the time that I was paying a LOT of money and I felt that I should be the one making those decisions for him...needless to say...my homeopathic vet was really upset by this because he keeps a record of "early traumas" in my pets and a complete health history bcause it is very important to know what the dog experienced and when in later life when "things" crop up.
Anyway, how do they do the surgery on such tiny babies? I hope they use anesthesia and puppy feels no pain during the sugery!! I cannot imagine how difficult that would be on a tiny yorkie. What age wre we talking and do they have to be a certain minimum weight before they will do this? I mean some yorkies are only a lb at 12 weeks????
Not to be overly critical, but I am just concerned.....How can anyone think it is worth the risk to do this type of major surgical procedure on a bby unless it is mandatory...not just elective??? |
