Spaying? - Page 2

My girl was spayed between 5 and 6 months and my boy was neutered at the same time, both recovered nicely. Some vets recommend waiting until after the female has had her first heat (5 to 7 months) but others don't seem to worry as long as the dog is matured enough.

6 months my breeder told me and my vet. I can't get Brynn neutered as I am showing him and he needs to be a full dog. I wouldn't of done it before 6 months though

I think most vets wait until 6 months. If you want to have it done now your vet might since she is almost that.

I do think 6 months is the norm, though it probably depends on the circumstances and the vet. My previous pup, that was spayed at 5 months, was already scheduled for another surgery. She had severe hip dysplasia and need a TPO. I had her spayed at the same time to avoid her going under twice. Everyone was in agreement that spaying her at the same time was the best option.

My Brodie is getting spayed next week too, she has just passed 6 months. I am concerned about her but it has to get done.

Lolapup · 02-09-2013, 05:02 PM

That's how I feel hazel I'm terrified of her going in but I know it has to be done

Hazel and Lolapup, try not to stress too much. I know how we feel about our babies and it is scary, but you are very responsible owners for doing this. Your pups will heal quickly.

My rabbits are even speutered. They healed just fine.

Ya what she ^^^^ said !!!

I'm not saying to not worry because that's not possible. I've had fifteen dogs spayed over the years without any issues. The key is follow your vets instructions exactly as they tell you. I realize after a few days(some its been hours) they act normal but always remember this is a major surgery. It should be treated that way. I always get pain meds for them. I wouldn't want to have a surgery without them so I couldn't possibly expect them to do without.

We had both are girls spayed at the same time since they are the same age. That way they both had to be quiet for a week to heal - seperate kennels too. They never even seem to notice. I was informed it is best to do before the first heat at about 6 months and they had to be over 20lbs.
