neuter?? What is the youngest age you can neuter a pup at? I want to neuter my 12 week old Carter, but i dont know if 12 weeks is too young? |
I would ask your vet. My vet wouldn't do the procedure until Brutus was 6 months due to his size (5.5 lbs). |
Vets will do it that early, but it's better if you can wait until at least 6-7 months of age for the growth plates to close and also in case the pup has retained puppy teeth so he doesn't have to undergo a second surgery. |
My dog Barney was neutered very young but that was many years ago and vets around here seem to wait longer these days. So when I had Teddy neutered, I waited until he was about 6 months old and they took out his retained baby teeth at the same time. |
Many times the shelters will neuter dogs very young because they want to make sure the neuter gets done. However, I would wait until he is 6-7 months old. |
ok thanks Im going to the vet in 2 days and i will ask then Thank you for your answers, though. |
