I don't know if dogs are the same as cats, but I just had my persian spayed because she was having more and more frequent heats and she was so "noisy" whenever she was in heat that it was annoying! Someone that I complained about it to told me that if they do't get pregnant they will have their heats more often because they are "trying to get pregnant".
I know there is some controversy over the benefits of spaying before they go into heat, but I think with litle yorkies especially, it is okay to let them have a heat because the risks of the surgery outweigh the benefits of spaying earlier. Just what I've heard. My vet may me feel stupid when I said Chai was too young and too small to spay at 5 months, but I have switched vets!! |
