Rhone was our female Saint Bernard. She died in Feb. 2011 from Osteosarcoma, an agressive bone cancer. She was an extraordinary girl who made many people happy with her work at local nursing home and veterans home. She had an amazing personality…and we all miss her very much Video Rating: 5 / 5
It’s soooo hard to know what to do sometimes, isn’t it? We just want to be good puppy parents! Ever since we started thinking about getting a dog, we agonized over the breed, the sex; etc. And ever since we picked her up we agonized over what food to feed, how to transport her in the van, when and whether to take her to the dog park, etc. Argh!
Well, now we’re struggling with when to have our baby spayed. She’ll be 6 months old in mid-October. We’ve heard that it’s best to do it before the first heat in order to reduce the risk of certain cancers. But then we’ve heard that it’s best to wait longer (not sure how long) in order to reduce the risk of bone/joint issues. We’re not worried about just “stunting” her growth, but we do want to make sure we do what’s absolutely best for her overall health.
If you have expertise, experience with giant breed pups, or if you know where I can find good research on the web, I sure would like to hear from you.
