Old English Mastiff Discussions / Re: UTIs, Spaying, Vulvas (what a topic, huh?!?)
« on: December 03, 2007, 05:05:01 am »
Hi, I am a new member and was directed to this thread via a google search on the subject. I am pretty sure that my American Mastiff puppy has an inverted vulva and am facing the same question as to whether I should wait for her to have a heat to see if it corrects itself.
I spoke with her vet today and he is very strongly advocating spaying her early and before her first heat. He said that if I wait until after her heat, that the chance of her getting incurable breast cancer is 1 in 8. Breast cancer or occassional UTIs? He thinks its a no brainer.
Does anyone have any other experiences with that?
How is the Siberian Husky after her surgery to reconstruct?
