I believe that there are birth control injections for dogs--I'm not sure how widely used and accepted they are.
BTW, in answer to a previous comment, no, the chances of mammary tumors and pyometra aren't 100% in unspayed dogs, but do they really need to be? I think that a 20 to 40% risk is quite high enough for me to decide to spay my own dog(s). (Bella has already been spayed.)
If this thread turns into an all-out food fight, please send the ceviche my way  . |
Pyometra and mammary tumors are definitely to be considered, but I have a question....what about with larger breeds that have issues with anesthesia? Would spaying them be worth it? This is one of the reasons why our bully hasn't been fixed yet.
As for the ceviche...do u want plantains with that? I also make a mean mangorita
