Did you find a vet in your area that will accept the certificate?
I think your babies are at a perfect age to get this done, I waited because my male didnt loose any baby teeth yet and I was worried he'd have to have a lot pulled, I didnt want to have him put under twice. So I put it off. He still hasnt lost many teethe, so he is gonna have the neutering and teeth pulled at the same time, my female only has 2 baby teeth left that I know of so she will get those out at time of spay.
Here is some helpfull info I found on friends of animals webpage.
Puppies and kittens of both sexes should be spayed or neutered by 6 months of age to ensure the animal will never be at risk of accidental pregnancy. Vets who perform early-age spay/neuter report that the animals tend to recuperate more quickly as well, with a speedier healing time and less discomfort. Both the American Veterinary Medical Association and the Association of Veterinarians for Animal Rights endorse early-age spay/neuter.
Health and Behavior Benefits of Neutering and Spaying
The risk of cancer is substantially reduced in a sterilized animal. Male dogs are much more likely to contract prostate cancer if they are not neutered. Female dogs face risk of mammary cancer. Additionally, the earlier a dog or cat is altered, the lower the risk: An animal neutered before 6 months of age has almost a 100% chance of living prostate or ovarian cancer-free.
Neutered dogs and cats are less aggressive, leading to fewer fights and, consequently, lower risk of injury or contracting contagious diseases. |
