Heaven forbid the puppy die and just as with people anesthesia is still a risk on rare occasions. With todays anesthesia it's not common but it's easier for me to just do it.
The puppies have to be atleast 2 pounds in weight and I am able to do most of mine by 12 weeks, but on occasion a little later. One of the best benefits about it is everyone seems to be having a lot easier time potty training, which is a plus. The puppies go through the spay/neutering easier then an adult. Mine come home playing. I am extremely stressed while they are there though.  |
Just curious about the procedure...if it is different in any way than when they do it on older dogs and have you ever lost a pup or had any other "bad" experiences or problems with this? Any develop incontinence later in life as I have heard this is a potential risk of spaying.
Why do you view the hormones as a negative thing?
