  • 1.  What are your thoughts on Pet's Health via Hysterectomy and/or Vasectomy?

    Posted 18 hours ago

    I converse regularly with a "HEALTH" advocate and touching on the topic of pets, it is said to be a healthier option for a K9's and/or Feline's to have a hysterectomy and/or vasectomy!  This method eliminates growth and hormone issues, torn ACL's and other ailments from aging, etc! I believe this to be TRUE, however, since us humans, have let the pet over-population get "out of control", we are stuck with early Spay/Neuter, if any at all? We should NOT be making spay/neuter the only standard, yet what are our options, and what are your thoughts? By now, I would think our technology is pretty advanced, if so, I haven't heard much about it and its pro's and con's as entering as an alternative to society! Are we even headed in that direction, anywhere? Hmmm.....

    Thank you for bringing up this (controversial??) topic. We are harming many of our canine companions by preforming traditional S/N at a young age and stripping them of much needed hormones. Creating responsible owners won't happen overnight, but we can pressure the Veterinary community to step up and learn techniques to perform OSH and vasectomies, AND educate themselves in providing HRT for animals already S/N in a traditional manner.
