Hiya,
I don't believe we have directly communicated before!
Someone else has kindly offered to send me the full study so that I can read it in its entirety, thanks!
Don't worry about offending me! I am not easily offended.
As mentioned before, this is ONE study and as a researcher, I can say that one study would never be used to make a conclusive point in any scientific discipline. The imbalance of information is just ONE limitation of presenting this article and attempting to make generalizations from the information contained within.
I'm a researcher so I'm hardcore when it comes to criticism! I appreciate it, actually. It helps me develop!
Hi Dottie xx
The overall consensus is that it is good to spay and neuter pets due to the shelters which are overpopulated.
Individual advice from vets which I, and others have received, has been that there is no health benefit to intact MALES to be neutered. I have not had any direct advice re: females and I research with lab mice which are never spayed or neutered unless there is something specific under investigation
