Yes when I was referring to taking responsibility I was referring to making sure that your intact male is NEVER allowed near an in heat female. I have an intact female but as of yet has not gone into heat. She will be 2 in July and I will have had her for a year in July. I don't know if she had gone into heat prior to me getting her. I have no other dogs in my house and she absolutely is not allowed outside by herself. |
So, if you had BRCA testing for a mutated gene and it increased your chances of developing breast cancer in your lifetime by 20%, you would still keep your breasts?
What percentage would you need to be at to have surgery?
