| When to spay? Pita's vet that she goes to for shots and stuff told me to spay her before she was 6 months old. I called the vet at the low cost place and he said to wait until she's about 9 months cuz she's a small breed. The first vet told me that everytime she goes into heat it increases her chance of breast cancer in the future. Has anyone else heard this?? What would you do?? |

| spay I would wait until her adult are in, then spay her..about 7 months. Vet can pull any retained teeth at the same time. Having one heat or even several only increases breast cancer risks by a faction. |

| Lucy was spayed after her first heat when all her milk had dried up, so she was about 9-10 months old. As far as I am aware of all of the female yorkies in my area (and there are a lot! ) this is a similar story. As for the breast cancer, I have no idea, I'll ask some of the other owners when I see them if no one knows on here! (which I expect they do!) |
