Given the number of zoos who've had companions die from pyo, I'm not sure I agree it's so spottable; it can be, but not always. I've seen 2 vets miss it. It doesn't take long for pyo to kill, if one is lucky and catches it early it's jst an enormous vet bill. That's a big gamble for high-risk breeds; is it worth that gamble? It is for some. I'm not saying everyone should, I just want people to understand the risks because so often in these threads people argue there aren't any and it's just done for convenience. I've posted it before, but here's a link to a study on the incidence of pyometra.
Not expecting any answers, but serious question for eveyone with a bitch, do you know what to look for?
Unless a person is in the habit of palpating, would they even know if something was off? "Is it supposed to feel like that?"
And the ethical question that comes into play here is - is it worth the risk, just so you can have sex with your pet?
People are latching onto existent but minimal risks associated with spays and neuters as reason not to do it. The fact is that the risks of NOT spaying or neutering are more severe. They're using pet lust as a reason to justify it, whether they want to admit it or not. That their pet's satisfaction in life is greatly improved if they can fuck you or you can fuck them. They're dogs - the happiest they'll EVER be is laying their head on your lap while you pet them. My dog still likes his dick sucked despite being neutered. No, it's not as fun as it would be if he were intact. Agreed. But who is it about? Me or him? He sure as hell seems to enjoy it regardless... should I keep him intact just so he cums all over me, for MY satisfaction? Because that's the buried logic of some people here.
