Neutering...

[Kfamr]

The sooner the better.

Nala was spayed around 8 weeks.
Simba was neutered around 4 months.
Kiara was spayed around 15 weeks.

I think there is nothing wrong if you had it done now. I don't believe it effects their health at all.

Well even Molli isn't spayed yet. We are having a very hard time finding a local vet who does it al least within our money range. And no humane societies nueter or spay around us.

I live in Little Falls, a longgg way from Duluth. Where is Makinen? Little Falls is between the bigger cities of Brainerd and St. Cloud.

Since Cockers aren't a large breed I think he would have been fine being neutered as young as 4 months. For larger breeds I think it's better to wait longer, but for a Cocker you could go ahead and have it done. Since Mollie isn't spayed you want to do it ASAP before he hits sexual maturity and she goes into heat!

I agree. I didn't realize that molly wasn't spayed yet. I'd really be looking into getting her spayed ASAP, the longer she waits the more of a chance you have of her getting cancer or the like AND even possibly puppies.

They both should be fixed asap!

I drove an hour to have Zam spayed at a low cost spay/neuter clinic. I'd rather drive the distance than risk her having babies.

Tobey was neutered at 6 months as recommended by our vet
