Mine is that the vet must be well versed in the updated medical technology, using the best anesthetic and etc..All to often I hear the blame of why NOT to is the risk of size. I personally don't think that's true. But again agree with the recomended guideline my vet uses which is the same as yours.
On a side note, the Chi I mentioned was an adult at 1.5 pounds, but still scarey none the less.
Thanks for your input. My breeding program is constantly evolving, I just incorporated early s/n end of last year. I am thrilled to hear positive results. |
Actually I don't think there is anything to worry about on early spay/neutering other than this being a healthy dog. Of course with their smaller size, being they are younger, if this is a liver shunt or heart problem dog or something, you are sure going to know it right away. To me that is just another plus, especially with the breeder taking on the responsibility.
Shelters have been spay/neutering small ones for years at this age and the larger breeds at 8 weeks. They get no hormones in them either which can happen before altering at 6 months. All around it's better. My new owners are thrilled to death and know they have one strong healthy puppy when they walk out of here.
