it SHOULD be safe. i read that it's even recommended in other countries... here's an excerpt...

"There are many myths about canine reproductive needs. Chiefly among these are the suspicion that neutering turns a male into a sissy and spaying causes a female to get fat and to lament her lost capacity.

The truth is that male dogs are usually better pets if they are neutered. They have less desire to roam, to mark territory (including furniture), or to exert dominance over family members. They are also healthier pets: no testicles means no testicular cancer, which is not uncommon among aging intact male dogs.

Females also tend to be better pets if they do not experience oestrus every six-to-nine months. Heat cycles bring hormonal changes that can lead to personality changes. Repeated heat cycles subject the reproductive system to uterine and mammary cancers and uterine infections. Some bitches experience false pregnancies that can be a bother to deal with and uterine infections that can be fatal."

i'm even considering my kitchie to be spayed (except that maluoy lang jud ko niya kung operahan) coz she has hormonal imbalance. she thinks that she's preggy every after she has her period, that's why nagdako iya breasts. mura na sya mama gud.

baby_c, in your case.. ambot lang! if only you can have legal actions against that vet nga gapataka lang. may not be for monetary damages, but at least to avoid from happening to other dogs too!
