Re: I will be a nervous 'mum' next Tuesday!
Okay, let me make one thing clear. I put up a post stating Holly was booked in for a spay next week. I didn't ask for, or expect, criticism, and biased opinions.Re: I will be a nervous 'mum' next Tuesday!
Jazzi she's your baby and you and your vet know her better than us. Personally even if I ask advice here I still do what I and my vet decide is best.Re: I will be a nervous 'mum' next Tuesday!
Re: I will be a nervous 'mum' next Tuesday!
The key is find a vet you trust. And research as much as you can. I didn't realise how castration affected a nervous dog until we did it to one. I can stop a male breeding easy enough with out castrating him. The medical reasons for castration aren't there either unlike the reasons for spaying a girl.Re: I will be a nervous 'mum' next Tuesday!
There are definite benefits to getting a make dog castratated if there is no intention to breed from him.Re: I will be a nervous 'mum' next Tuesday!
It can change a nervous dog into a nervous aggressive dog. I never mentioned a bold dog.Re: I will be a nervous 'mum' next Tuesday!
I am sorry Jazzi is cross and is taking a break and feel I have contributed to this decision. However, she did say she felt wicked inflicting it on Holly, but knows it has to be done and was of the opinion that the sooner the better. From this I formed the impression that Jazzi was not sure. Jazzi has had more than a few problems with Holly as a puppy and has had concerns about her health and how robust she is (or was) and we have PM'd each other about it on one or two occasions. Apart from my belief that bitches are better to have a season before they are spayed I took this history into account when I posted. I will desist from giving Jazzi further advice as she is obviously annoyed with some of the responses folks have made and I have no wish to add to it.Re: I will be a nervous 'mum' next Tuesday!

Don't we all feel wicked when we put them through medical things I certainly do, I always think I'd rather it was me at least I understand why things are happening.
