I have read studies that dogs spayed after 4 years of age, have a longer life expectancy so I can understand your concerns and I really do have mixed feelings because I do believe that mother nature in her infinite wisdom did create hormone's for a reason. But I think also that having your female intact with a male around might be just looking for trouble and at her age, I personally feel that you would be ok to go ahead and have her spayed now and that's coming from someone who is not necessarily on the spay/neuter band wagon.... |
