First season cycle Crystal has just commenced her first period. She's just 14 months old and appears to be taking it all in her stride, but looks a bit swollen. Do these last long in Yorkies? Is there anything I can do for her? We are debating whether to have her spayed. Presently we're leaning towards not doing this, just in case anything were to transpire from the surgery. I've read widely on here and elsewhere and opinion seems equally divided? |
Best to spay after the heat has finished (swelling goes down) usually 3-4 weeks... keep her inside, on leash for outside potty breaks but check for dogs before you take her out. and be quick about it. |
In my opinion, the risk of pregnancy and pyometra outweigh the risk of spay surgery. The surgery is very safe and routine these days. |
