Jeg vil tackle et par problemer samt begynde en sandfærdig diskussion om neutralende hvalpe såvel unge.

Mine bekymringer er:

1. Hvor ung er så godt ung at spay eller kastrere en hvalp?

2. Er redningsgrupper såvel som krisecentre, der gør den bedste mulighed ved at spaying såvel som neutralerende hvalpe, der er så små som 8 uger gamle?

Jeg får først mit synspunkt ud af metoden, men del også din også.

Og vær venlig over for alle andre i kommentarerne. At Mutt byder velkommen til forskellige meninger, men ikke grusomme kommentarer.

Er redningsgrupper neutralende hvalpe såvel unge?

Min mening: Ja.

Der er fordele såvel som ulemper at spaying eller neutralisere en hunde i enhver form for alder, men for en hvalp så ung som 8 uger tror jeg, at de potentielle sundheds- og wellness -farer opvejer de potentielle fordele.

Jeg forstår, hvor redninger såvel som krisecentre kommer fra. Hvis du kastrerer den 8-ugers gamle hvalp, før han bliver vedtaget, er der ingen mulighed for, at han vil opdrætte.

Som en potentiel adopter selv ville jeg vælge at tage min egen beslutning om, hvornår jeg skulle spay eller kastrere en adopteret hvalp efter at have hørt en dyrlæge.

Jeg vil ikke have en redningsgruppe, der træffer denne beslutning for mig. Jeg vil have det bedste til at tage den allerbedste beslutning for min egen hunde eller hvalp.

Mens det at have færre hjemløse hunde ville løse en masse problemer, har ikke redningsgrupper såvel som hundeejere har en forpligtelse til at gøre de allerbedste muligheder for hunde eller hvalpe direkte foran os?

Lad mig forstå, hvad du synes. Er krisecentre såvel som redningsspaying såvel som neutraliserende hvalpe såvel unge?

Har nogen form for dig omfavnet en hvalp fra en redningsgruppe eller husly? Var den hvalp allerede spayed eller kastreret? Fik du nogen form for stat i sagen? så godt som du var ligeglad med?

På dette tidspunkt spekulerer et par af jer måske på de potentielle sundheds- og wellness -farer ved spaying såvel som neutralisering. Jeg har skrevet en hel udgivelse på fordele såvel som ulemper ved spaying såvel som at neutralisere her, men jeg gør min fineste for at opsummere det lidt:

Sundhedsmæssige fordele ved at spaying eller neutralisere en hvalp eller hund

Fjernelse af visse kropsdele vil reducere en hunds risiko for specifikke sygdomme.

Hvis du kastrerer en mandlig hund, vil han ikke få testikelkræft.
Hvis du eliminerer en kvindelig hunds livmoder såvel som æggestokke, vil hun ikke etablere kræft i æggestokkene eller en inficeret livmoder (Pyometra).
Uden æggestokke vil hun ikke være i stand til at producere østrogen, så hendes fare for brystkræft falder. Der er meget mere information om dette i Ted Kerasote-bogen “Pukka’s Promise: The Quest for længerevarende hunde (som du burde læse).

Sundhedsfarer ved spaying eller neutralisering af en hvalp eller hund

Fjernelse af en hunds kønsorganer kan resultere i en forbedret fare for specifikke kræftformer såvel som andre problemer med sundhed og wellness.

Der er en hel del eksempler, men lige her er nogle:

Spayed eller kastrerede store racerhunde er meget mere tilbøjelige til at få knoglekræft, ifølge Dr. Jeff Werber, en veterinær i Los Angeles, interviewede jeg. Dette er, da sexhormoner kan hjælpe med forebyggelse af knoglekræft, såvel som adskillige dyrlæger antyder nu at vente på at spay eller kastrere store racer hunde op, indtil de er 1 år gamle.
I en undersøgelse af Golden Retrievers var mænd, der blev kastreret inden 12 måneder, tre gange så sandsynligt, at de fik lymfosarkom. (Mere om den undersøgelse her)
Den nøjagtige samme forskningsundersøgelse opdagede ligeledes mænd, der blev kastreret før 1 år gamle, dobbelt så sandsynligt at få hofte dysplasi.
Spayed såvel som kastrerede hunde er meget mere tilbøjelige til at rive deres ACL’er, ifølge Kerasote i “Pukkas løfte.”
Deres fare for blærekræft stiger, skrev Kerasote. Og spayed kvinder er meget mere sandsynligt end intakte kvinder til at have urininkontinens.
En forskningsundersøgelse af kvindelige Rottweilers fandt, at hunde spayede efter 6 år, var 4,6 gange meget mere tilbøjelige til at online til 13 år end dem, der blev spayed i en yngre alder (mere om det her).
I en forskningsundersøgelse af Vizslas var hunde modificeret i enhver form for alder meget mere tilbøjelige til at etablere mastcellekræft, lymfom såvel som andre kræftformer, ifølge Dr. Karen Becker. (Fuld forskningsundersøgelse her)

”Man kræver ikke at være en dyrlæge eller en fysiolog for at mistænke, at eliminering af hormonproducerende organer har en dybtgående indflydelse på en krops fysiologi,” komponerede Dr. Patricia McConnell på sin blog den anden ende af snor.

Østrogener påvirker hjernen, knogler, hud, hår, urinvej. Androgens created in the testes play a function in muscle mass as well as skeletal development.

Note that advocacy groups such as the ASPCA say it’s risk-free to spay as well as neuter puppies as well as kittens as young as 8 weeks old, as well as that is where a great deal of rescue groups, shelters as well as canine owners opt for their information.

So what age ought to a puppy be neutered?

Every canine is an private as well as may deal with different health and wellness dangers based on breed, genetics as well as other factors.

What’s finest for one canine or puppy may not necessarily be finest for another. Each canine owner has to make the very best decision for his or her own canine after consulting with a veterinarian.

Personally, I would choose to wait as well as have a puppy spayed or neutered when he or she is at least a year old as well as had a possibility to mature, particularly if the pup is a big breed. however that doesn’t imply that’s the very best decision for all dogs.

What age to spay or neuter a weimaraner?

I added a weimaraner puppy to my household in 2016, as well as I selected to have him neutered when he was 10 months old after consulting with his breeder as well as our vet.

My decision to have my weimaraner neutered at 10 months came down to:

Being enabled to interact socially at the canine daycare facility we utilized at the time. They needed male dogs over a specific age to be neutered.
Neutered male dogs were showing aggression towards Remy at our regional canine beach as well as I was concerned it may begin to have a unfavorable impact on Remy’s own behavior.
Remy was humping the canine beds at house as well as sometimes humping me. This habits stopped as soon as we had him neutered.
I really hoped there would be a small possibility he would be a bit much more calm as well as workable if he were neutered. Surprise, this had no impact whatsoever. field bred weims are field bred weims!

So, ideally, I desire I would’ve waited a bit longer however it worked out just fine.

What age to spay or neuter a lab puppy?

We just got a male lab puppy, as well as ideally I would choose not to have him neutered whatsoever for health and wellness reasons. Labs are prone to joint issues as well as Rip will ideally be an active canine included in agility, hunting as well as running. (Although he is quite calm, practically lazy, as a puppy!)

I am available to getting our lab neutered if he starts to have behavioral problems such as aggression, extreme humping or marking in the house.

But I believe great deals of socialization as well as training can avoid these issues. Det vil tiden vise.

I do not have a issue neutering Rip for behavioral problems if it is finest however ideally we can wait up until he is at least 12 months old or even 2 years old.

I’ll update this publish when the time comes.

I’m thankful the present canine daycare we utilize does not need males to be neutered in purchase to interact socially as long as they show they are well behaved, just like any type of other dog. They do not put two intact males together, so it includes a bit much more juggling for them as well as I appreciate their efforts.

What if your puppy was already neutered at 8 weeks old when you got him?

If your embraced canine was already neutered when he was 8 weeks old, don’t worry.

Whether or not a canine was spayed or neutered as well as at what age is only one element in the lifetime health and wellness of the dog. Your puppy is likely going to be just fine!

Are rescue groups wrong to neuter puppies at 8 weeks old?

Rescue groups will continue to do what they want, as they should. They are independent groups that ought to make their own decisions.

There is such an incredibly high demand for “rescue puppies” best now that adopters will continue lining as much as embrace them no matter what.

For example, rescue groups in San Diego are charging $700 for mixed breed rescue puppies, as well as adopters do not bat an eye.

I’ve been at these events as a volunteer as well as witnessed this with my own eyes. The puppies get embraced practically immediately.

Those of us who do not want our puppies modified so early have the option to go to a breeder or elsewhere.

Still, I hope much more of these groups will consider the future health and wellness of the private puppies rather than pushing for early sterilization of all puppies.

One commonsense method is to need puppy adopters to pay a refundable spay/neuter deposit with the contract that they will spay/neuter the puppy when age appropriate.

I like that approach. It’s what a few of the groups were doing when I resided in Fargo, N.D., as well as itfungerede godt. Det går en lang metode, når redninger såvel som krisecentre regner med, at adoptører gør det bedste. Mange mennesker antyder godt som virkelig at prøve deres bedste.

Men tilstrækkelig fra mig …

Hvad tror du om tidlig spaying samt neutralisering af hvalpe?
