| We have two vets we alternate with and neither will spay/neuter before 6 months. Plus they always say, be sure as you can't undo it. So many different points of view on the matter. Our one vet does encourage to spay/neuter after 6 months if you're sure you won't ever want to breed and the other said (paraphrasing) that once they've had their first heat, their body is "pregnant" insomuch as it prepared for getting pregnant and that doesn't go away in between heats thus it doesn't hurt to go unspayed for the first 3-4 years and then by then if you don't want to breed spay, as generally speaking uterus problems don't develop before then on an unspayed female. Now, I realize there's always the exception to the rule and someone will say their 18 month old unspayed dog had issues, but according to the vet that is the exception and not the rule. So think carefully about breeding, make your decision and then be prepared to stand by it.

| Can anyone tell me if they had any troubles or anything after spaying? I have had this done with my other 2 but they were Bichon's & this is our 1st Yorkie so I don't know if there will be any side affects with this breed. Thank You |

| I have never had any issues following a spay. One thing I do suggest is that you give her pain meds for the first couple of days at least. Some vets don't really see the importance of pain meds which I totally do not understand. While pups do not show pain they do have it. It is natural for them to hide pain.

| My baby isnt old enough yet to get spayed, but as soon as she gets her rabies shots, I'm making an appointment to get her fixed. She just seems too tiny to have healthy babies. She was born to a tiny momma and because there wasnt enough room for her to grow in the womb, her rib cage was squished. It grew like that, and now it sticks out more than normal. It feels like she has a big knot on her ribs. She is gonna be bigger than her momma was, but I still cant picture breeding her. I still feel shes too tiny. |

You are being very smart in making this decision. How sad for her about her ribs. It sounds like her momma is too tiny to be having puppies.

Rosie did fine after she was fixed. It was hard on me because I hated seeing her that way. But she bounced back quickly.
