As the vet explained it to me the procedure is much less invasive for a dog than a human and the recovery is swift. She was right. The health benefits (reducing the likelihood of certain cancers) outweigh the risks. I think you have to think about your dog as a dog and not an adult human. I welcome everyone's thoughts on the matter. It all comes down to your own personal choice.

If we as adults do not wish to procreate, we take measures to prevent pregnancy but we don't have our uterus removed. Are we more likely to get cancer or other problems if we don't procreate or have our uterus removed? My puppy is 7-1/2 months & I am wrestling with this. I feel that I am going against nature by getting her fixed. Is there anyone out there who shares my feelings on this?

Sorry to hear your dog's having such a rough time! Farfl acted as if almost nothing had happened, but it's a very different procedure for girls. Hi Donna

I just got my chihuahua neutered yesterday and he is in so much pain. He has pain meds, but I will be picking up more to add to what he is taking, since he is screaming if we even touch him. He is 8 months old, and a baby in every sense!! How do I know if this is normal? Hi. I just got my chihuahua neutered yesterday and he is in so much pain.

There are a lot of dogs out there that need homes already. Plus my dog is too small to breed from - it would be far too dangerous to let her get pregnant. It's a personal choice and a decision to be made carefully. That’s fine if you have plans of how you’re going to take care of all the puppies – I just don’t want that responsibility.
