[matese]

I had 2 females, each 3 years apart, I didn't spay brcause they were such wee babies I didn't want them to go under the knife. 13 years later my first one got Pyometra, her uterus erupted, puss went through her blood, the vet gave her a full hysterectomy and set her home, for 9 days I watched her die before my eyes. 6 months later my 2nd got Pyometra, I recognized the signs and rushed her to a new vet, she was also given a hysterectomy, she lived for 6 months. All my fault because I feared spaying. I wouldn't want anyone to go through what I did. I had no intentions of ever breeding, I had 2 more pups, my vet advised spay before 1st heat, 5 to 6 mos old, both (they were also 3 years apart) were spayed at 5 1/2 months old. One lived to be 13 y/o, the other lived to be 17 y/o. I advise everyone, if pup is purchased to be your pet SPAY for their health. You have read of the danger and pit falls of breeding. Ask your vet what is the right age to spay, most advise before their 1st heat, Spay don't breed.


is an infection of the uterus and it can be deadly.
