| female yorkie! My little female Dixie who was born on April 12 is now five months and one week old. She is somewhere between five and a half pds and six now. I know she should be coming in heat soon. I do not intend to breed her. About when is the normal time for yorkie females to come into heat? Should I let her go thru one heat cycle and then get her spayed or would now be the right time? So far I do not see any signs that she is in heat or coming into heat. My twin daughters have a little male who is two weeks younger and from a different litter and like I said I do not want to breed them. Would it be wiser to get him neutered first or her, or maybe both at the same time? Thanks for your input!! |

Normally, puppies should be spayed/neutered at the age of 6 months. From what I know, they can began getting their first period between 7-9mths old- Fiona will be 6 months next monday, and the vet told me to get her spayed end of October. I don't entend on breeding her either, and I will have her spayed very soon. Neutering is much simplier than spaying- I would probably tell you to get her spayed first, just because it's a little bit more recovery time than males. I hope this info helped ya out! | |
