Health / Chin neutering
« on: May 20, 2015, 09:21:45 AM »
Hi everyone!
I am hoping to ask you all for a bit of your expertise. My partner currently has a mixed sex pair (they are separated). When he reserved them at the breeders we were told they were both female, but it turns out one is a fella.
The current plan was to have the guy neutered, however I am concerned. The vet said it was ok to neuter him at just under four months old, but this seems very young to me. Do you think the benefit of his not being a single chin outweighs the risk of the operation? I can't find any statistics anywhere.
Also are there any things you would recommend for asking the vet beforehand?
Thank you very much!
