I almost lost a darling little dog due to a uterine infection. Pyometra. It happened to her during her first heat but it can happen at any time to an unspayed female. I was blessed that my vet was able to save her. Many die.
Why take the chance? It is a real risk to your pet not to spay. Yes there is cancer as well as Pyometra. There is also the risk of a male dog smelling your female in heat and jumping a fence and killing her before you can do anything to stop it. Why put her through the stress of heat cycles? They bleed for two weeks.....like a period.
Spay her and get it over with. It's a safe and easy procedure and she will not be stressed again for the rest of her life by the hormonal cycle. |
