Lucy was spayed a month ago and baby Rebel will be at 6 months.

why did you choose not to nueter or spay if you dont mind me asking and if you dont want to say on the thread for what ever reasons you can send me a PM.

The reason I did not get Leo fixed when he was a baby was I heard that if you neutered before there bones were fully developed it may cause a difference in the length of their bones. This came out in a agilty forum. So I emailed an agilty vet who had written a book(s) and I was told it is true. I decided that I would wait since Leo is never outside without me. Then I was let go at work (downsizing)

It took me a long time to find another job at a big pay cut. So it has been more of a money thing lately. I work at a garden nursery so I am laid off from Nov. till the end of March. In Feb. when I get my income tax I will have Leo neutered. Abby was unplanned. But I don't want her to have puppies either so will get her done after I get back to work in the spring.

I just got Nyx spayed, she's 7 mos, she came home yesterday and is doing wonderfully.

Cheska's Bella · 11-10-2006, 12:19 PM

Not yet...

I had wanted to start a small breeding program. I felt like sense there was a slim to none chance that I could have another child, I could at least raise Yorkies. But, after becoming semi-educated about the pro's/con's of breeding on this forum, I realize that I probably shouldn't. Mostly because I think I would be doing the breed a disservice, and secondly because of the cost.

I had Bailey done last Thanksgiving weekend for the same reason. The first night she was so out of it; I had brought her bed with us in the car and wrapped her lightly with her blanket and placed her in her bed. I had to change her blanket and towels several times that night and the next day because she just peed in her bed. The anesthesia just knocked her out.
She was wobbly the next day, and 2 days later she was running around & eating. Our vet glued her incision so we never had to go back to have stitches out, she hardly even has a scar now.

Your baby will be fine

Jaden is neutered, and is as healthy as can be! All of my pets have always been neutered or spayed if they weren't already neutered or spayed when I got them. Since I'm not a breeder I think it is worth it to have it done just for my little ones health. You can avoid so many health problems by one small surgery...I've never regretted doing it to any animal that I've owned.

yorkienewbie · 11-13-2006, 03:33 PM

Hailey just got spayed last week!

Bnot · 11-13-2006, 06:04 PM

Looks like I was too late to vote.

One of mine will get neutered soon, and the other one spayed when she's old enough.

I'd thought about breeding them. But after seeing 3 females die after birthing in less than 2 weeks time on the board....sure changed my mind. I'm not willing to make that risk, and will leave it to the folks that are willing to risk it.

Marcellacml · 11-13-2006, 06:05 PM

Yes, all 3
