Golly Gosh...she was very young for a spay??? Is she really 3 and a half months old??
Generally, in the UK, Vets always always always want to neuter the dogs at a very young age. People like myself, who Show and Breed, generally like to wait until the dogs have matured at around 18 months. Just that we feel they need to have a proper hormonal development and grown out of their puppy stage somewhat.
In reality it's only 2 or 3 seasons to go through and unless you have an agressive male, there is no need to do a male early either?
I suppose I just feel that physically they need to mature and develop as well as mentally/emotionally!
I have not posted to upset or get at you in any way! Please don't think I have! I am just a bit amazed that a Vet would do this procedure on such a young baby! Maybe I have the age wrong??
I would also be intersted in how other people assess the correct age of neutering?
All the best, love Dawn X
