persephone Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Specialist Small Animal Surgeon = Micro Surgery everyday so desexing in season with the extra risks would be easier for them. easier for them, quite possibly ..but it is the same shock in a little canine body , regardless of who does it . yes, they may have more equipment, stitch neater, and be able to get blood/fluids in faster etc if needed ..but there is still the same amount of blood diverted, the same cuts, and the same organs removed , which cause the halting of hormones etc . That's all ...a spey is a spey . Glad you're holding off if she's in season , and hope it all goes well :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerJack Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Specialist Small Animal Surgeon = Micro Surgery everyday so desexing in season with the extra risks would be easier for them. I see you have decided to wait if she comes into season so I guess its a moot point but I don't think the issue should be how easy it is or is not for the surgeon. No matter who does it, surgery in season is much harder on the dog for recovery and that should be the thing you consider, not how hard it is for the surgeon. I have a little yorkie who was desexed after her 2nd season had finished. It was almost a month after but apparently still not really long enough. Vet said inside it was like she was still in season. Very vascular anatomy and a bigger surgery with more risk. She was in a lot of pain afterwards and took considerably longer to get over it than did my other small dogs. I would wait a lot longer in future. Good luck with whatever you choose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm certainly not going to wait until she is in season and then go and have her desexed. I'm not sure where that was conveyed, but that was not my intention.
