Good Luck Gypsy

Glad she's OK! *sends Gypsy a bunch of virtual flowers, and something nice to chew on to help her get over her op*

) Glad she's well and the worry is over!

Only just caught up with this thread.

Glad everything went well and Gypsy is back home recovering. :huggles:

 

That is good news. :huggles:

 

Glad she's home again and recovering well from her op.

It's amazing how quickly they get back to normal.

:luck: and :huggles: for Gypsy

 

Glad to hear that Gypsy is o.k. It's hard not to worry though! I stayed with both of mine when they were spayed, it only took about 10 minutes, amazing.

When you think if it was us we'd be laid up for weeks & they are raring to go 24 hours later. Now all you've got to do is keep her quiet for 2 weeks (w00t)

 

:wub: :huggles: to Gypsy, glad it's over, hope she keeps still for you for the next (?) 2 weeks , speedy recovery o

 

:wub: bless her :huggles: she will soon be running around :huggles:

 

AS I BRED GYPSY

I find it very worrying that vets can say a bitch is mature even though she's not had her first season and is only just 8 months old. Tilly (gypsies sister) is certainly not mature in any sense of the word. I totally understand and respect your reason for having her spayed kaz, but i certainly woundn't have a bitch of mine spayed before her first season, and i definately wouldn't recommend anyone else too, like i mentioned it to you at crufts.

I blame the vet

 

Glad to hear gypsy is well. :luck:

Kaz i,m quite surprised the vet has done it only as you know our Teya is her sister and with them both being only 8 months my vet has told me to wait till she has had her first season and by which time will be that little bit older he said that whilst it's still a pup let it be a pup and the time will come.

I know you must have your reason's but i think a lot of vets think [SIZE=14pt]MONEY ££££[/SIZE]

Teya says :huggles: to her sister

 

Glad Gypsy's ok

 

How can this be if the bitch has not fully matured there have got to be problems later on, you are tampering with nature.

You already know my opinion about neutering :- "

If you cant stand the heat then you should stay out of the fire

We should all be able to debate this subject with out it getting nasty, which I seem to rmember from the last time it was talked about, it was me that took the brunt of the abuse from you!

 

Opinions on neutering seems to be so emotive, but I do feel people are entitled to their own opinions and decisions, and a lot depends on personal circumstances. :- "

I don't know the pros and cons of spaying at a young age (prior to the first season) but Whitecross Whippets has obviously thought about this at length and chosen the best course of action for Gypsy and the family circumstances etc.

Just out of interest, when owners decide to mate a bitch, if the bitch subsequently needs a ceasarian section is this also "tampering with nature".

 

Typical female-we havn't got time to be ill you know! She will be fine of course ( esp. when her fur grows back!). Have found in my experience animals only give you 'evils' if they are male & youve just got them castrated.

 

ps this last comment was an attempt at comedy rather than any reply to your pro/con debate which I have only just discovered after scrolling. This is an emotive subject not least helped by the fact that I know at least 2 vets whos 'professional' opinions differ as to whether to spey or not before the first season. At the end of the day the only person who is responsible for the welfare and ownership of your beloved dog is you & you must do what you feel is right. I get on very well with my bitches breeder & trust her inplicitly, but bitch speying has no place in her kennel (she does not over breed her bitches) even tho I am aware that this op prevents unwanted pups, difficult seasons, mammary cancer etc. Years ago we used to believe in 'just letting her have the one litter first' before speying a bitch & it was much the same with horses - let her have a foal and all her female problem will be solved. I hope things have moved on since then, the spey is a regular, responsible, & successful op & I wish Gypsy the very best. :thumbsup:
