[QUOTE=LoveNeverDies;4178446]Hello everyone! Went along with my friend to the vet's office today for a check up on her 6 month old yorkie-pom. When she asked about a spaying appointment, her Vet replied "She is only 3 pounds and not going to get much bigger, she doesnt' need spayed." I was incredulous to this statement. When I asked him why she didn't need it her replied "Well what's going to be able to breed her?" Idk maybe another small yorkie? Anyway, I am VERY surprised and nervous that this vet would say that, I do not think he's a bad vet but most likely just inexperienced with small dogs. Am I the gmisinformed one here? I have always heard to do spays on even small dogs. I am sure a 3-4 pounder could get pregnant. Maybe i'm wrong. I told my friend to get a second opinion, but she said she agrees with the vet, after all he went to school. So I would just like all of your opinions, she has other small breed unaltered boys in the house and i would HATE for her to have an unexpected pregnancy.[/QUOTE...My chloe is only 3lbs.and veterinary highly recommended chloe be spay. I had intentions of spaying her anyway but was it in no hurry because I have no other dogs but he went as far as to tell me see could get out & lose or anything and that she was definitely to small to be bred so i made the appointment had had it done she is 9 mts old. |
