Too old to spay? When my daughter brought Reesie home, she had $dollar$ signs in her eyes thinking she would breed a few litters with Reesie and make a lot of money. That didn't happen, and now I have full possession of the little one. She'll be 7 years in March. Can I still get her spayed? What is the risk at that age? What is the recovery time at this age? I'd like to lessen her risk to cancer and also cure her with her love affair with my slipper. It's sometimes embarrassing. |
Not too old to spay. Abdominal surgery may be a bit harder on her than a young pup, but it would be fine (very good idea). Unless there is something wrong with her bloodwork, heart, etc., then there would be no reason to skip it. She is past the age where the spay surgery would reduce her risk of getting ammary cancer. The cut off it before their second heat. You would be preventing pyometra though which is very common in unspayed females and very dangerous. The behavior may or may not stop. My girl was spayed at age 6 with liver disease and did fine. |
