Sir Bentley is all set to go in on July 10, 2012 to be fixed and our Vet wants us to bring him home the same day.
We're wondering should we do Prissy first and hold off on Bentley for another month or two. Just two costly to do both at the same time.
Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated. |
You might try posting this on your own thread. I'd hate to see it get lost on this one because it's a good question.
I'm no expert and wouldn't want to guess. I've heard it's best to spay before the first heat. But I've also heard it's good to neuter before they start marking! If I were you, I'd lean toward spay first and wait on neuter, but, again, I'm no expert.
As to the OP's question, I agree with the pack, with a caveat of more information:
When Eddie had leg surgery a few years ago, the board certified surgeon was going to leave him alone for the night. He defended the decision because he said the dog needed rest and quiet. Moving him would just get him excited or upset, he said.
I settled on having him moved to a 24-hour emergency care facility to spend the night. That way he could rest, but experts would be there in case of emergencies.
I wouldn't blame you for taking her home, but you might keep that in mind. She's just had surgery. Keep the environment as peaceful as possible and let the pooch rest.
