Is The Risk For Ovarian Cancer Really That High?
If I decide not to get my dog spayed, is the risk of cancer really that high? It just seems pointless to put her through major surgery because she may get cancer in the future. I mean it would be kind of like a woman choosing to get a hysterectomy because she may get cancer in the future. There is a very small chance she would accidentally get pregnant but only because you can never be 100% about anything. As it is, she is always on a leash and we don’t put her in the yard. The only problem I can maybe see is that our two male dogs would fight while she’s in heat, but I doubt that. They’d need raging hormones for that and they just don’t have that anymore.
