Hello All
Very interesting reading and info on when to spay. Just to correct the understanding of my vet spaying. She never insisted Hollee be spayed at 6mths..my last two yorkies were done at six months with no I'll effects. The first one died at 16yrs and virtually never saw a vet..she was small as well. My second one died last year at 12yrs..very healthy until this happened ..renal failure which came on quite suddenly. We will be going overseas for two mths..and of Feb which is giving me an ulcer but we are going to meet our new grandson and my other son's 40th birthday. My younger son moves in here and looks after our dogs. He adores animals and is so bonded to ours. We call him our dog whisperer. But I didn't want him to have to deal ith a heat while we are away. Hollee is 2lbs 13ozs and has been spayed very successfully. She recovered very well by the next day and hasn't looked back. She had a few baby teeth pulled at the same time. The vet called her 'sharky' as she had two rows. So all over and she is doing very well. My vet is one of 6 vets & they are also our ER veterinary hospital in the area and is 5mins from home. There is one vet on call 24/7..so I was reassured by this. Ave x
