To Spay or Not to Spay Our Yorkie is approaching 6 months and our vet told us today that if we plan to spay our baby girl we should do it soon. Arianna weighs 6.8 pounds and we worry about her having such a major procedure at such a small size. We've also been told that it could change her personality. She is so delightful, we don't want her to lose all of that joy and happiness. On the other hand, our vet said that she would be at a higher risk for mammary cancer if she is not spayed. We just don't know what to do. What are your thoughts on this topic? |
