| My vet made me wait until Bella was at least 3 pounds and she flew through with flying colors. I know feminvstr told you about isoflorine but there is even a newer one that vets are using but either will work. The other name is Sevoflurane. Just make sure you ask your vet what they will use. Have the blood work done and her teeth checked and she should be good to go.

| I have two tiny females and have made the decision not to spay either of them because I do not feel the benefits outweigh the risks for them and my vet does not believe in removing body parts unless it is in the individual dog's best interests. My little gilrs have no risk of getting pregnant since thay are house dogs and never leave the house withiut me. They are constantly supervised. There is plenty of evidence that the reproductive hormones serve important purposes all over the body and for the entire life of the animal. The vets in other countries like Spain are more progressive than ours and do a less invasive procedure like a tubal ligation to prevent pregnancy but leave the animal with it's necessary and God given organs. There is evidence of cancers contracted more often by neutered dogs than intact dogs and there is a possibility of a female becoming incontinent after spaying, sometimes years after. Anyway, I feel strongly that a pet owner should not feel pressured to have this major surgery w/o being advised and educated about all of the pros and cons. I feel that a lot of vets just insist on it as a matter of course if a person is not going to breed a dog, but I feel that this is major surgery and needs to researched thoroughly before the decision is made. If you decide that neutering is in your baby's best interest then I would also ask for the sevoflurene gas, I would consider a less invasive procedure like laporoscopy, tual ligation and/or laser surgery to lessen the trauma involved. Good luck with your decision and if you want more of my point of view, please PM me and I would happy to give you citations for my views and resources for learning more. Good luck to you and your baby. Last edited by SoCalyorkiLvr; 01-18-2006 at 08:22 PM. |
