There is also a new less invasive laprascopic procedure as well as a laser procedure which are both easier on the dog.
You may still decide to do the full blown spay but at least you have then explored all options.  |
That makes it sound soooooo severe!! Like I'm about to commit a horrible crime or something.
I haven't decided what to do. I'm not going to breed her. I'd be lucky to find a yorkie to breed her with, as it took us two years to find her. There are no dogs roaming the streets here, its against the law, so there will be NO accidental pregnancy even if she ever did get out without me, which she won't. There is no over population of dogs here, but there is a HUGE cat problem. The only thing I'm interested in is what is BEST FOR MITZI. I'm not concerened about dealing with her in heat or blood or anything else. Just simply what is the right thing to do for her. If i'm being honest, I would prefer not to have her spayed and just leave her as God intended. I am just worried about her health and would be willing if it means she will have a better life.
