And...finally I must say that the question of "when" is very well answered in real research; but for some reason I feel that is being ignored here.

If spaying a female yorkie before the first heat leaves an almost zero chance of mammary tumors and pyometra is astounds me that anyone would still be questioning it. Until research shows something that is MORE harmful than that due to spaying before 6 months I would hope that others would be a bit more judicious in where to discuss this. Of course I know that probably isn't going to happen, but I can always suggest it.

Now, I will leave the thread for you all to answer this because I know you want it to end up as you wish it to be.....BUT I implore you to do some reading about pyometra and mammary tumors...and do take a look at the video I posted and ask yourself if you would want to put your beloved pet through that. It always amazes me that people can ignore things with dogs that I know full well they would think twice about putting their own bodies through.

Emotional? Darn straight...makes me sick to my stomach. I have seen it over and over and over through the years....the suffering of defenseless tiny beings because people did the things they did for whatever reason ... that surely was not in the best interest of that poor baby.
