neutering at such an early age??? I finally got Wookie home yesterday and the trip home went well. This morning I woke up and spent time with him and he started humping his toy and blanket. He will be 3 months this thursday. could i have some clarification...when is the youngest/while safe time to neuter a male yorkie; is it at least 3-4 mos? I know that the saying goes to neuter him early before he starts the humping/lifting leg?? is 3 months too young? a bit confused....:p |
Humping is perfectly normal for puppies to do. I highly recommend you read the following article on the pros and cons of neutering. Good luck with your baby. http://www.naiaonline.org/pdfs/LongT...uterInDogs.pdf |
Baxter was neutered about 3 weeks ago at 5 months. He is still humping stuff. I understand it is a dominance thing and not a sex thing. He is also starting to lift his leg and i was really hoping to avoid that. I guess I shoulda got a girl. But he's just too precious! |
My Cavalier was pediatrically neutered at 10 weeks. It is a controversial practice, but some breeders do it to ensure that their dogs sold as pets aren't bred or shown. Breeders are very protective of their lines! I haven't had any side effects from it, he squats constantly, and just learned to lift his leg at 15 months and he still is so awkwardly cute when he tries to get that leg up - so he mostly squats and he has never humped anything or anyone. My vet says that the early neuters have no more risks then regular neutering for small breeds. Its large breeds that need the hormones for healthy bones... |
