Typically the people who adopt the pets tend not to get them neutered/spayed and create an ongoing problem with too many homeless animals. He told me that it causes the animal to deteriorate much younger, having something to do with their skeletal system. I am sorry that I cannot remember exactly what, because I determined not to do that to any of my animals. |
EXCELLENT VET!!! Supported by evidenced based research and outcomes....you have a VERY up to date vet....hold onto him!!! Do your OWN research...look for trials, controlled trials, and double blind studies conducted by vet colleges and recorded in Journals of Vet Medicine....there are several well documented studies conducted over 10+ years that support what your vet has shared with you....I like to suscribe to a couple of vet journals.....kinda keeps you current on what is going on in vet medicine and current theories of practice!
