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  . |
Thank you and I hope that people think long and hard about these facts before encouraging people not to s/n.
You can have my share of the ceviche (if I have a share...lol) and just toss me a few extra slices of the plantains.
