I am a new Yorkie Mom, first time dog owner and say hello to all. I am quite hung up on neutering my Mr. Muffin. It seems so very traumatic. I consider pain, healing and possible complications as I am a nurse by profession. I am not going to breed. I am trying to convince myself this procedure is really medically necessary and reasonable. If I don't what are the consequences? I have cancelled surgery twice. I want to do what is best for Muffin. All input greatly appreciated.:cool: |
Coral had a quick recovery from her spay. I was worried sick about her, but know that the benefits far outway the risks! She was back to herself in no time flat! I have also heard that males will tend to mark their territory if they do not get fixed. I don't know from experience about that though! Good luck with your choice! |

I would agree, the the benefits outway the risk!! Some say the they will mark their territory less, the younger you get them fixed. I dont know if that is true or not. |
Welcome.. I am also a new yorkie mom. My little guy is 5 months old now. I am still thinking about breeding him but if I don't I will get him neutered. I have done alot of research and talked with other yorkie parents and my vet. I believe the benefits out weigh the risks. Only you can make the decision that is best for your baby. There are alot of very informative people here hopefully they can give you some help. I wish you all the best of luck. |
I googled "benefits of neutering" and found this info: Benefits of Neutering Reduces the distracting and destructive behavior associated with the male's efforts to get out and find a mate Reduces the urge to roam. This makes it less likely that you will lose your pet, which in turn makes your pet less likely to contract a disease, get in a fight, get injured, or become a victim to cruelty, poison, or traffic. Eliminates sexual discomfort, distress, or distraction ... making your pet happier and more content. Eliminates testicular tumors and reduces prostate gland problems. Reduces the urge to fight. All of my boys have been neutered. I think the reduced risk of cancer and the reduced need to mark/fight/etc., are worthwhile reasons. Good luck and welcome to YT! |
Hi, welcome to YT :wavey: I had Wicket neutered fairly recently, at six months, and he did great - in fact it was a struggle to get him to keep still that evening...he just wanted to run and play! It is worrying when the time comes to spay/neuter, but I believe the benefits outweigh the risks. Good luck with whatever choice you make for Muffin....looking forward to seeing some pictures of your little guy! xxx |
