My 1st Yorkie, Megan, had heart issues, and didn't get spayed till she was 12, at 6 months she never would have survived the spay, at 12, she had such a bad bladder infection that spread to her uterus. My vet, who is an excellent vet, did a full work up on her, and decided that she had a very good chance of surviving, she did and lived another 3 years. Gina was just spayed on Tuesday the 5th, she is in training to become my service dog, and is very healthy, so she needed to be spayed. There are good pet owners and bad ones out there, also people that will given the chance, wreck your life by stealing your pet. All of that aside, to spay/neuter, your pet is up to you, and you alone. If the operation can save or improve the life of your pet, then I think you owe it to your pet, to make the best choice for them, but that's just my opinion on the matter.
Cheers Quad & Gina
