Spaying the dog?

[tikeyas_mom]

Yes there is a high chance any dog or animal will get cancer if not spay or neutered ... I am saving up to get my rabbit spayed . My dog Tikeya wasnt spayed till she was 2 years old .. Dont ask why, I dont want to start a fight ..

But we didnt know about the cancer thing intill resently..

I don't think a lot of people knew about the cancer and a lot still don't know. We didn't hear about it too long ago either. We had told our friend, many times, so I'm not sure what made him change his mind. But good thing he did. She has some growths on her, and they removed them and tested them and they were not cancer.

Our dogs came from a shelter so they were fixed already.

We just had 7 doggies spayed and neutered at my work today. A few hours after their surgery, you would never be able to pick out which ones had just had the surgery. They were on their feet, bouncing around, and I had a hard time trying to keep the boogars calm!

really? thats not like how timber felt at all...we werent allowed to pick her up until the next day, and she was sooooo stoned on drugs...her eyes were bloodshot and she slept on my lap all night (which was difficult, shes sooo heavy! ) she was so drugged up...and she didnt even get better for a few days she got so sick

After Tikeya got spayed she though she had puppies and she started producing milk and carring around a stuffed snoopy doll and the works.. She even dug a den out. It was weired.

There are some that don't handle it as well (like my RB dog Dessi) but about 90% of them pop right back up and are back in action. The girls do tend to be a little more out of it and sore than the boys because theirs is more invasive. But I see many of them go through the surgery every week and they are back to their naughty selves in to time at all for the most part

My Aunt was told her cat got cancer cuz it never had kittens??? I thought that was weird. She's was spayed as early as possible and now shes ummmm...10 0r 13 and she has breast cancer.
