Thread: Neutering/Spaying: What age?

  1. #1
    Couldn't agree more Amy. I personally know someone who adopted two dogs from a rescue, signed a contract saying she would have them fixed, and never bothered to do it. It was "too expensive". The one female bred with another dog, had a false pregnancy, got a massive infection, and nearly died from "breeding" with a stray neighborhood dog, not to mention she got herpes or something! If people were responsible then shelters and rescues wouldn't have to do that, but since there is no way to know who is lying and who isn't...they have to have policy.

    I also think it is inappropriate and rude to say things like "that makes me sick" when you aren't in another person's shoes and don't know anything about their situation. I'm GLAD Kay's dogs were fixed so early, look at the home they have now! Good trade off IMO.

    I plan on getting Soda done at 6-7 months, as long as everything is good with her. I think people should do it at whatever time they feel is right and recommended by their personal vet and nobody ought pass judgement on it. Not everybody feels the same but there is no need to be rude about it.

    Thanks Jess for the great sig of my kids!

    Maggie was spayed when she was 8 years old and lived to be 14 almost 15

    Shadow and Keesha were spayed at 6 months
    Eli and Ozzy were neutered around 7-8 months
    Sheeba was spayed around 15 months because i thought she was already spayed but she just was really late coming into heat and didnt have her first heat(that i knew of anyways) until she was 15 months old

    Tiny-3 years
    Sprinkles-8 years
    Lacy-7 or 8 years
    Minnie-5 months
    Triskit-1 year
    Daphney-2 years

    The males (excluding Tiny) have not be neutered yet. I'm trying to convice mom but she doesn't think it's necessary because "they can't have puppies"
