Spaying I am a new member so please forgive me if I repeat something that has already been discussed. I have a 7 year old Yorkie named Greta which has not been spayed. My husband feels that it would not be best for her, but the vet suggests it every time I take Greta. The vet gives me no specific reasons, so I am not sure why it would be suggested. Greta has had a couple of litters prior, but I do not plan for any additional puppies. Greta does have very heavy bleeding when she comes into season. Could someone please enlighten me on the pros & cons of having her spayed? I am torn. |
I really don't see any cons on spaying her. But the cons on not spaying her include her developing cancer, or an infection and other problems. I had a dog that we didn't spay. She was around 11 years old and her bleeding was heavy like your girl's. We took her to the vet and they said she had to be spayed immediately. They took out her uterus, it was twice the size it normally should have been!! We saved her just in time but because we waited so long, even though they spayed her, she ended up with other health problems because she was not spayed early on like she should have been. The pros outweigh the cons in spaying her. She will be much happier and has a better chance at a healthy life. JMO |
i'd get her spayed as soon as possible. I just assisted in a procedure today on a 15 year old shi-tzu with a tumor on her ovary. she also had a very swollen vulva. I've also seen many mammory tumors and pyometra's in older dogs that haven't been fixed. |
