when to neuter? i'm sorry, i'm sure this has been asked so many times, but spencer is 10 weeks old and i'm just wanting to get an idea when it is safe to have him neutered? i'm sure it's a long ways off yet! thanks |
check with your vet. your vet would have a better idea of when it's safe based on spencer's age and weight. i had bunjee neutered this past monday. he was 18 weeks old and 4.8 lbs. |

okay let me rephrase . . . anytime before he turns 5 months is the best time! |
I had chester done at 6 months the vet said not before then, so talk to your vet, it seems early to me. |
My vet thinks that 4.5 mos is old enough. My advice is ASAP (provided it's ok w/ your vet). It will really nip the bad habit of marking that develops with age. I didn't get Stewie neutered until later and I pay for that mistake multiple times per day. |
If you want to avoid multiple sugeries I would wait as long as you can so if he has any retained baby teeth they can be pulled then. |

I agree :thumbup: as most - not all - Yorkie babies need baby teeth pulled. It is also the perfect time to have your little one micro-chipped along with the neuter. |
I got Chachi neutered at 7 months. They neutered him,extracted baby teeth, and microchipped him. |
