You are correct. Some do not research first. But their is a difference in urging and providing them w/ resources to educate themselves and trying to sway them towards one side. If not have s/n is what is best for you, that is fine. But it may not be what is best for them. I would think it better to encourage them to read up on it vs trying to convince them one way or the other, regardless to which side it is.
First off, I did not say that it was not a proven fact that is was a possible result. I said that I do not see how you could prove that a dog who had early s/n developed the problem as a result or due to other, natural circumstances. You have no before/after comparison for the dog. How do you know it wouldn't have happened anyway?
I beg your pardon, but when did I EVER say that this was the reason they favored it? I don't think I ever said that! I don't feel this way at all! I honestly don't know where you get this from at all! Plus, I think this makes a very unfair statement towards the, how did you put it...the "traditional" veterinarian...as a whole. Seems like it categorizes them all as just being money hungry. |
I as a reputable ethical Show exhibitor and breeder of only Yorkshire Terriers and have had one since the age of 10. Does state after spaying/nuetering many many young puppies over the past 10 years, that this is so much better than later spay/nueter as I also do after I retire one of my champion girls. I see the difference! I watch my surgeries and have the experience to back up my statemnets. Early spay/nueter has NOT once caused any issue's with a dog of mine later in life! HOWEVER on the down side, ones that have not been early s/n can and have come down with Pyo, as I had one at 2 years of age, cancer as pet people who have called and told me they lost there dog to it at 4,5 ad 6. When I ask at what age were they spayed, alot state they were not or not til 4-5 year of age. Breast tumors are a concern at an early age as well. Potty training is also MUCH easier especially on males!
Nothing like a pet person having a male lift there leg all over there house and end up homeless or in a shelter!
