Here is a link to another thread that shows a reference to some studies about the risks and benefits of the spay/neuter question.Canine Sports Productions: Early Spay-Neuter Considerations for the Canine Athlete.
If you a do a web search you will find other articles (some referencing the actual research papers) on the spay/neuter question. Once you inform yourself, a discussion with your vet is the best way to go, as they have the health history of your particular dog, and should have valuable advice/input to your decision making process.
There is an article here in the library that talks about anaesthesia protocols for Yorkies. Read it.
Pre Op blood work is highly recommended.
Best of luck with your decision.. |
Excellent advice and guidance!
