yea spading is kinda cruel tbh but i personallly wouldnt do it as i wouldnt want that happen to me if i were a dog
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?"
... they're individuals. There may be a bell curve but you are in no position to know what makes every dog in the world happiest and even if that was their favorite activity that doesn't mean other things aren't valuable.They're dogs - the happiest they'll EVER be is laying their head on your lap while you pet them.
BothAgreed. But who is it about? Me or him?
Perhaps having your dick sucked only comes second to pets if you've been castrated.Should I keep him intact just so he cums all over me, for MY satisfaction?
You assume too much.Because that's the buried logic of some people here.
you are in no position to know what makes every dog in the world happiest
As you cannot read the minds of all dogs, you cannot read my mind.Though it would seem that you are in a position to decide that it's OK to keep them intact just so you can fulfill a fetish.
The fact is that the risks of NOT spaying or neutering are more severe.
kinda narrow minded to think it's only about sex. surely there is a more logical reason to not permanently fuck up a dog's hormone levels. "sex" is probably not the reason why castration is considered mutilation and thus considered as an illegal procedure on healthy animals without a "special reason" permit in countries like germany.And the ethical question that comes into play here is - is it worth the risk, just so you can have sex with your pet?
probably the most sensible approach. health should always come first. regular check ups and do what needs to be done if the time comes. my girl is spayed since earlier this year, because i obviously love her way more than i love fucking her. i still think just castrating for the sake of it being "the normal" thing to do in some parts of the world is very wrong.There are trade offs and reasons to spay and not to spay that need to be figured out with the bitch's best interests in mind. It's OK to want sex, I do. It's OK to choose to not modify a healthy dog who's not a high risk, but one needs to understand the risks and reevaluate year after year. It's not selfish to think, "Holy shit that could suck, I don't want that.", but it is when that is your primary motivator, your primary motivator should be, "I love this bitch, I do not want to lose her; I should make informed decisions about her health, even if it sucks for me."
spaying/neutering a with no signs of anything is only about convenience. i know it's wishful thinking, but knowing what to look for (especially with higher than normal risk breeds) should be a given when getting one.It's OK to not know, we're all ignorant until we learn. Want me to shut up? Stop repeating the bullshit about it being only about convenience, smack that shit down when you see it and help educate the community. I expect more from zoos, we're supposed to care and love our companions more than non-zoos; step up.

Canines don't exactly come out of their mother's womb spayed and neutered. It's something that you, as the species with the larger prefrontal cortex and higher EQ ratio, decided to inflict upon the animal through preconceived justifications.Though it would seem that you are in a position to decide that it's OK to keep them intact just so you can fulfill a fetish.
The thought is good, but it seems pretty clear to me that you're trying to talk sense to someone who drank the Bob Barker kool-aid - then made a new batch, drank some more, and is now trying to foist it on everybody else.Canines don't exactly come out of their mother's womb spayed and neutered.

As mentioned, there are legitimate reasons for keeping a canine intact and there are legitimate reasons for spaying and neutering canines as well. Both have their ups and downs, but there's a reason why many European countries ban the practice for non-medical needs. Also do keep in mind that while canines are hardy animals, they still do require those sex hormones to function normally. When you remove the sexual organs their bodies will switch to taxing the adrenaline glad for said hormones. For some breeds, this will not be too detrimental, although still not good/ideal at all. While for other breeds, such as rottweilers, it is absolutely detrimental. As doing so pretty much sentences them to an earlier death from cancer eventually, especially done prior to their first heat in females and 1.5 years for males.
Also, keep in mind that my particular form of love for animals is NOT a fetish. I myself consider it a sexual orientation as does Hani Miletski.
Well damn, odd that you mentioned him yesterday, he literally just died today. Are you some kind of dark magic voodoo wizard that can kill people by just naming them?Bob Barker
@egoldsteinCan be, not necessarily are; it greatly depends on a number of factors that need to be taken into account on an individual basis.
It is important to not lose sight of the fact that for some, spaying can have serious, life-threatening consequences as well as being a source of life-saving consequences.
I don't think it is unethical to leave a bitch intact, especially if they are not a high-risk breed. That said, and the points I keep stressing are there there ARE risks; many of those risks become greater as she ages. It is not just about convenience; anyone who says otherwise is woefully ignorant. Anyone who's deciding to keep an intact bitch who doesn't know the early signs of pyometra needs to learn ASAP.

and lots of it, with great sadness one my girls got pyro, I caught it fast and got her in straight away, so she's broken but recovering well but my wallet is twitching and hemorrhaging on the table still.Most vets don't give a shit about what you do with your animals as long as you have money.
@OffgridK9loverand lots of it, with great sadness one my girls got pyro, I caught it fast and got her in straight away, so she's broken but recovering well but my wallet is twitching and hemorrhaging on the table still.
last week end, she was in Monday and out Tuesday night, today she's doing much better and eating more so regaining strength getting back to her normal self, I noticed her being lethargic, rapid breathing, keeping close eye on their behaivior and noting any thing odd is a life saver, the vet was glad she was at such an early stage which makes recovery much better odds@OffgridK9lover
This sounds like a recent event. You have my condolences.
Please keep us up to date...
that was a different girl, her thankfully was just growing pains / pinched nerve, this was the older mix girl who was a cuddly lil horn ball. poor girl was a victim of a hit and run few years back too.Poor girl She was sick the last time you mentioned her too. I'm glad she's getting better...
If your vet has put her on gabapentin or any analog drugs, that'll make her a bit lethargic, woozy, and foggy headed and it will not help with hunger. Just imagine trying to enjoy a meal while dizzy, woozy, and foggy headed.last week end, she was in Monday and out Tuesday night, today she's doing much better and eating more so regaining strength getting back to her normal self, I noticed her being lethargic, rapid breathing, keeping close eye on their behaivior and noting any thing odd is a life saver, the vet was glad she was at such an early stage which makes recovery much better odds
It came as news to me this morning - I honestly didn't know he was still alive - Somehow, I was under the impression that he'd kicked off a year or so before The Coof started making the rounds.Well damn, odd that you mentioned him yesterday, he literally just died today. Are you some kind of dark magic voodoo wizard that can kill people by just naming them?
well she's back to her normal self, she's done the amoxacillin course, and inhaling her food, guarding her spot on the couch, and bolting out side like normal.If your vet has put her on gabapentin or any analog drugs, that'll make her a bit lethargic, woozy, and foggy headed and it will not help with hunger.

Luckily the biggest hurdle is over for her, the surgery itself. Here's to hoping that she has a speedy and easy recovery.
do keep us posted.well she's back to her normal self, she's done the amoxacillin course, and inhaling her food, guarding her spot on the couch, and bolting out side like normal.
So things are looking good. would like to get a second blood test done to ensure things are all stabilized.
Such wonderful news!!!well she's back to her normal self, she's done the amoxacillin course, and inhaling her food, guarding her spot on the couch, and bolting out side like normal.

she'll do that her self quite well, despite best attempts to stop her eating sheep shit and catching mice!Such wonderful news!!!
Now that the Amoxicillin is done, are you open to the idea of replenishing her friendly flora in her gut? Look into it if you are interested. This will help build back her immune system.
Hope this helps...
Oh wow! This is good to hear. If she's actually eating the mice, this can definitely provide a source of probiotics to rebuild her system. You are correct. Happy to hear she's doing well.she'll do that her self quite well, despite best attempts to stop her eating sheep shit and catching mice!
Nope, just actual real science and not this nonsense people come up with to justify their fetishes.The thought is good, but it seems pretty clear to me that you're trying to talk sense to someone who drank the Bob Barker kool-aid - then made a new batch, drank some more, and is now trying to foist it on everybody else.
Who's to say just because someone keeps a dog intact doesn't mean they're doing anything sexual. If you believe that, then go over and tell your neighbor "If you're dog isn't fixed, then you're obviously fucking them"Though it would seem that you are in a position to decide that it's OK to keep them intact just so you can fulfill a fetish.

I'm not talking about people in general. I'm talking about people on this site.

new to the site, and this is my first post (be gentle I am fragile ).I just say that I’m keeping him intact so he matures properly and I may breed him in the future. Beyond that, it’s quite frankly none of their damn business. The whole “bob barker, spay and neuter your dog” movement is annoying and misguided. Everybody is so quick to push for sterilization, yet they have no idea what it truly does to the animal. They just parrot back the same old “He’ll bE aGgReSsIvE/uNwAnTeD pUpPiEs” bullshit. Just remember that you’re paying the vet for their services. If they have an issue, stare down their nose at you, or keep trying to sell an unnecessary surgery; take your business elsewhere.
