Although I have performed surgery on pups as young as 7 weeks, I worry about the anesthesia on immature pets, especially if they weight less than 5 pounds.Kristen Nelson, DVMhttp://www.coatedwithfur.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15057396.post-22772227103512113822010-03-12T15:21:45.437-08:002010-03-12T15:21:45.437-08:00When to snip is certainly more art than science. O...When to snip is certainly more art than science. Our new dobie pup is 4 months old and she is quite the pest to our 3 year old German shepherd. Both females. <br /><br />By the same token, when our current shepherd was the puppy to our old German shepherd, she was quite the pest towards her. I think it is the way of the dog. Something that we mere humans just observe but can't quite understand. We do the best we can with each wacky dog.cubehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13788126579896276199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15057396.post-85218683285462538292010-03-11T09:17:08.385-08:002010-03-11T09:17:08.385-08:00Kim...yes.

Steve, I&...Kim...yes. I'm still recovering. :)<br /><br />Steve, I'm not sure if there's an optimal age. It's been my experience at the guide dog school that they'll sometimes neuter our males (the ones that aren't being considered for the breeding program) as early as six months or so. But for all I know, there could be breed-specific guidelines or other factors your vet might take into consideration. Congratulations on your new puppy!8675309https://www.blogger.com/profile/07788710075501401606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15057396.post-44518758460638245682010-03-11T06:12:09.872-08:002010-03-11T06:12:09.872-08:00I've forgotten what is the best age to get a m...I've forgotten what is the best age to get a male dog neutered. We're now the owners of a second Pug, Henry, and he is just 8 weeks old. He's getting along great with Winston, our five yo black pug. I think we had him neutered when he was around a year old - not sure.Steve Harkonnenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09497761866380334481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15057396.post-52321211114284030382010-03-08T20:36:08.051-08:002010-03-08T20:36:08.051-08:00Sounds like things at your place have been enterta...Sounds like things at your place have been entertaining, though exhausting.Kimberly and Rufushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12532892576048784314noreply@blogger.com
