Please Please Please spay you female dog if you aren't going to breed her. I just had to put my girl down due to Pyometra. It's an infection of the uterus with or without a discharge. My girl never gave me a clue she was so sick. All she did was pant until it got on my nerves. She was overweight any way and I just thought she was gaining weight, little did I know she was filling up with infection. If you love you dog as I did mine, please get her fixed and avoid the heartache that I'm going through

I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm sure that you're blaming yourself right now, too, and I can understand that, but please don't. Try and remember the happiness that she brought to you and the good times that you had. Your pet is in a better place and waiting for you at the Rainbow Bridge.

I only hope that your tragedy will save some dogs out there.

My deepest condolences.

I'm so sorry about your dog! Pyometras are emergencies, always nasty, and if it is a closed pyometra, as in your dog, the dog can be extremely ill before the owner notices. And the emergency spay necessary to save the dog can be a difficult surgery and hard on an already-sick animal.

There are other good reasons to spay your dog--if it's done before her first heat, her chances of developing mammary (breast) cancer are less than 1 %; if you wait until after she's had a few heats, they rise to 25%. Spayed dogs can't get pyometras or uterine or ovarian cancer, because those organs have been removed.

And perhaps most importantly, spayed dogs can't have puppies. With millions of animals dying in shelters every year, that emphasizes how important spaying and neutering are.

I am so very sorry for your loss. Being a pet training instructor, I get a lot of, "Oh, I couldn't do that to my dog" when I bring up spaying or nuetering the dogs. So many people don't realize all the problems you can have if you don't. Thank you so much for sharing your story. I hope it reaches a lot of people.

Good advice. I'm very sorry you had to suffer like this to learn gain this wisdom. But we all do make mistakes and learn awful lessons along the way. My dog is spade, but it is because when she was a puppy, someone like you advised me to do it because they were in a situation similar to you. I hope because of advise like this I will have my best friend for many years to come. (She is 6 years old now. ) So, you are doing the right thing by telling your story so others don't suffer like you are. Thank you.

Sorry about your loss. This is one of the reasons I have always advocated for having female dogs spade. I recently purchased a Bichonpoo who is 4 months old now and I DEFINITELY plan on getting her spade.

I understand. Unwanted pregnancy is just one of the reasons for spaying your dog. I always tell people to spay their animals, even if they have little to no contact with other animals. Just to prevent certain health-related problems.

I'm sorry for your loss.

I do and will always spay and neuter. Now if all the backyard breeders would do the same the pounds might go out of business.

Your dogs will bypass into warmth returned after six months of being in warmth. it would not count if she had puppies or not. maximum vets propose spaying 2 weeks after the puppies are weaned. call you vet and ask for his advice. that telephone call is unfastened.
