She is simply trying to put factual information about the effects of spaying out there for people to consider, and that it's not a black and white issue for every breed. People can disagree with that, and that's okay, but... implying that Gemy is not qualified to speak on this topic because she had a dog who tested positive for heartworms is a low blow, especially if you read the thread that was cited, in which it's clear that it was her husband's fault, and she felt absolutely horrible about it. And it is also completely irrelevant to her qualifications to speak on the subject.

I was not the one who said anything about Zoey. But I think of a couple as a team if one forgets the other should be checking or making sure it's done like if Sammy doesn't get his heartworm prevention or ct meds I lecture both my parents and blame them both equally. But again I did not bring the heartworm thing up so telling me it's a low blow is not something that really needs to be done.
