[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a male lab mix I rescued at approx 12 weeks and the vet said wait until a year old. Same reasons you were given. However, all my prior rescues were fixed when I got them. One was 10 mos and one was a year but already spayed a few months before. Neither one had joint issues. I’ve also fostered several dogs. They’re all Spayed and neutered early. Rescues are generally healthier than pure breds so this doesnt totally make sense.[/quote] Off the top of my head, I can think of three people who adopted rescue puppies fixed between 8 and 12 weeks old, and the health outcomes were heartbreaking. Two of those dogs suffered CCL tears that required surgery, while another owner saw both of their puppies develop hip dysplasia. Even my sister’s dog, who was spayed at just 8 weeks, has struggled with ongoing urinary incontinence.[/quote]
