Why take that risk? People need to know what real facts and what's myth. Most of these things people are saying in those articles are just myths and there is nothing scientific to back it up. It's so bothering to me when people are anti spay intact it's even scary when we are talking about very tiny dogs. |
Exactly Taylor....comparison....If my dog's dentist told me to have a hysterectomy because his horses get fibroids after delivering 2 foals (sp) now buy my book!
Rhonda, Mini was 2lbs when she had 2.5 hours of surgery to reconstruct her entire eye...anesthesia an all. She was 3lbs when spayed, anesthesia and all, she was almost 4lbs when she had her hips replace, anesthesia and all! don't worry...all dogs are safe under the care of a trusted/reputable veterinarian.
