Ask the Veterinarian - Concerned About Spay/Neutering & Anesthesia
lorihuntdvm May 19th, 2008
my frenchie is 4 months, the vet wants to neuter him but im very scared about the anesthesia, i saw your protocol but is there any thing else i should ask the vet before i even consider this.
One more thing ,will neutering him really protect him against cancer or not. I dont want to put him at risk.
please tell me what to do.?
Dr. Lori writes -
The protocol is a good guideline for frenchie anesthesia. I think you should discuss it with your vet before surgery and decide on an option with which you are both comfortable. I would also recommend pre-anesthetic bloodwork and a clotting time.
As for neutering, I believe I would wait until he was 6-8 months to allow him some more growth… Neutering him will prevent unwanted pregnancies, prostate issues, testicular cancer and behavioral problems associated with testosterone.
Good Luck to you and your boy!
