A dog with a partial spay developed pyometra. A dog that was spayed too early developed incontinence. A few dogs that were never neutered developed testicular cancer. These are all cases that my friend's pets have gone through. I suppose every pet will respond differently to whichever course the owners take. So many options & so much information out there. It comes down to researching for yourself & using your discernment. Thank you Veterinary Secrets for giving us options.

We'd planned to spay & neuter at about 6 mos. of age but, having listened to your advice, we'd definitely prefer to keep our kids as healthy as possibly so, spay & neuter is 'out'. Now our hunt will be on to find a doctor who can/will leave ovaries & testicles but sterilize. Here in Oregon the search is on! Thanks so very much for your channel & for being you. Blessings!

As a human's MD, i choose to spay my one year old Beagle with OSS procedure (hysterectomy). Considering Beagle is not a breed that prone developing many tumours (except maybe lipomas), ovarian carcinoma is so rare and 90% mamilary tumours are benign - i will keep her hormones intact while she will never got pyometra. Like you've said OH on dogs increased risk of spaying incontinence, hip dysplasia, osteosarcoma, diabetic, hypothyroid, and many other carcinomas and already proven by many studies. Recent study revealed that spay incontinence happened because of the involuntary urethral spincter got loose and all of this is because of the gonadal hormones, esp. Oestrogen disappeared. So much similarities between human and dog, because *THIS* also what exactly happened to human when their ovaries got removed, and i'm so glad there's a Vet who really shown the cons of Traditional Spaying and Castration like you.

Mine bitch has never been sick. I haven't done annual injections since she was three years old. She isn't chipped - apparently vets are finding tumours around the inplant. Not surprised!!! its a foreign body. I watch her carefully and give her all the attention while she is in season. No problems so far. Long may it continue. By the way I am in the U.K. and I had some very stuffy replies when making enquiries about a new vet for her. A case of if you won't take our advice - push off. But my present vet is lovely. He understands I will take advice on natural cures where ever possible and use Dr. Jones site for advice before taking her for treatment. He is fine with that but he is not out to make money and does treat dogs from rescue centres. He's a lovely young man. After the rip-off merchants he is a breath of fresh air. You know what is best for your dog and its you that will have to deal with the consequences should things go wrong. So unless its deadly serious I shall be keeping my girl whole.

One of my guys I rescued, was neutered in the hopes of making him less agressive. But the opposite happened and on top of his behavioural issues he has numerous food allergies, I truly believe it is connected to his neuter. On the other hand his brother littermate ,who I've had from a pup was never neutered, he is sociable and has no allergies at all. No coincidence.

Had my Golden "fixed" with an OSS when she was 14 months old. It costs a little more than a traditional spay, but I believe it's worth it in the long run with the host of potential medical issues she may now be able to avoid.

Our dog had OSS done at 18 months (4 years ago) and she goes through what we believe to be some type of dog depression several weeks after her "heat cycle". We think it is about the time in her cycle that she would have had pups if she would have been pregnant. For about two weeks, she mopes and barely eats, until she snaps out of it. I haven't been able to find a good solution yet. Now, our other dog, who is totally intact is picking up the same behavior and I keep wondering if we should just get them both fixed or if there is some natural hormone support we can give them.
@debbieheine536

@@SamT26 So we had OSS on our Golden back in 2017. She has had what we call "false pregnancies" about seven times since then. One of the first signs is that she begins to whine or cry, for no reason. She walks around, crying, as though she's searching for something, which is when we give her a stuffed animal to care for. While she's usually rough with a stuffed toy, shaking it and ripping it's stuffing out, during this phase, she "cares" for stuffed animals, as though they were her babies; carrying them, licking them, and having them with her at all times. We refer to them as her babies, and they are not tossed about by us, or played with whatsoever. We treat them as if they were her babies, because she's treating them as such. Typically, she lays in the middle/lower portion of our bed, but when she's going through a "false pregnancy," she finds comfort laying up at the head of the bed, between our heads, and can't settle down for the night until she has all of her babies with her. This phase can last 2-4 weeks, and we know it's over when she begins shaking the babies as tho they were toys. That's when they go into the washing machine, and are put away until the next signs of a false pregnancy. I'm not sure Golden Retrievers ever get enough food to eat, so while I've not experienced a lack of eating, your dog may find comfort in having something to care for and to mother. As for your other dog picking up on the same behaviors, perhaps they are merely experiencing a natural mothering instinct, and being best friends, they're sympathetic to one another. I wouldn't get either of them fixed just yet. Hormones are strong, and theirs may be giving them feelings they can't control. At least you recognize the signs and if you can show them extra loving during these times, I believe you'll both benefit.

I believe what this man is saying. The problem is that very, very few vets know how to perform partial spay or neuter, and are not interested in learning how. And almost all vets still repeat the same old mantra of advising conventional neutering at a young age. It seems that very few vets over the period of a 30-40 year career even make an effort to keep informed of new research developments in veterinary science. Recently, one vet I spoke to about the subject of this video actually said he thought this resistance to change was at least partly money driven.

Neutered male dogs tend to be more aggressive in general due to lack of hormones; creating insecurity. So it is not that your dog has more hormones, it is just that they have none and it messes with their mental health...even around other neutered dogs. So don’t worry about it. Just avoid neurotic dogs.

I have raised several GSD's and trained dozens more and I will tell you neutering to control behavior and population is useless and cruel. When you neuter any large breed male dog especially GSD's they cannot produce testosterone killing their ability to achieve maximum bone and muscle development, leads to them being sedentary, obesity which leads to various disabling and expensive health and orthopedic problems. Proper training, keeping them busy, swift, APPROPRIATE discipline (Notice I said discipline and not punishment.). EVERYONE who comes into contact with your German Sheppard Dog MUST BE CONSISTENT. Ive owned several GSD's, NONE of them were neutered, and never had any serious behavior issues. If you don't have experience with large breed working dogs and 12+15 years to revolve your life around them (This includes jobs, housing, and relationships), be available to work with or train them 2-3 hours a day buy a goldfish; you will be happier.

What is their diet? If they are on commercial food it is a big source of disease as well because there are a lot of things in commercial food that does not belong in an animal's body. If you can slowly transition your pet to a raw diet for dogs, that may help in their recovery. Commercial food is toxic in the long term. As is ongoing booster shots when you can give the animal natural vaccines by mouth called Nosodes.

Rescued a 7 year old dog. Was told she was fixed. She went through a heat from hell! She was a corgi with a very furry tummy and I could see part of a scar, so I just assumed. Heat was the hardest I've ever experienced, and I've had other female dogs go through heat early many times. So, after her heat I scheduled a spay. She immediately was having trouble urinating. Squats and just a few drops come out. She even starts whining and trying to run away. Her behavior also changed in a drastic way. I had been working to make her a therapy dog since she loves kids, I thought she would be perfect in a hospital setting. She went from being curious and outgoing... to becoming afraid of mundane things. Cars, birds and almost any noise. I checked all the boxes for a depressed dog.

Now, the girls are not spayed - the dog is 6, the cat is 5... and I guess we just have to put up with those hot times, and apart from what's expected from each species, the dog is so much worse than the cat btw... this dog is crazy; the cat doesn't even care about other cats lol All the best! Cheers :)

I just adopted and it was required I neutered my dog without having a choice or any say…(I couldn’t pick him up before neutering, I adopted and they sent him straight to get neutered) now I feel so bad bc he took of his stitches and now I watched this video and learn of ALL the problems he could have now. I would honestly have taken my chances with cancer and with a bit more energetic dog.

I think the cancer threat is a big fear mongering lie. A lot of cancer is caused by the commercial food full of toxic artificial processed ingredients. It's like feeding your animal McDonald's everyday. If you perhaps had him on a raw natural diet, that would help the body a lot more. Definitely look into raw diet. I switched all of my cats and their fur is so silky and their muscle definition is great.

I felt the same as you with my male cats and tried EVERYTHING under the sun. When all else failed they got snipped and it was honestly the Best thing I ever did. I wouldn't wait too long or they make their behavior a habit even after. My kitties were close to one year of age so I was happy they got at least that much time to let hormones develop. Probably not much help but if I got more kitties I would do it all over again. I will never own an unfixed pet again after what we went through. I honestly think they go through too much stress and anxiety with their instincts being to hunt and mate and not being able to for good reason of course and they can cause problems being under than much stress all the time. At least that's how it was with our cats.

My dachshund was spayed when she was a puppy they told me it was totally safe. Today she is 10 years old and she has been overweight for the past 5 years and nothing that I do helps her lose weight oh, I've tried the carrots, apples and cut back on her kibble, she still has not lost weight. The vet said to go from 3/8 of a cup twice a day to 1/8 of a cup twice a day I said no way I cannot cut back her food that much. She's always begging for food as if she is always starving and I don't know why. Thanks for this information❤

This might be a really dumb idea, I'm not a vet, but what about having clips put on the ovarian tubes (or however it works) the way they do in humans to prevent pregnancy? Then nothing is removed but egg release is blocked? I really appreciate this information, btw. When I adopted my Rotti/lab cross at around 13-14 years, she had just torn one ACL. The vet told me she had torn her other ACL previously. Since I've had her she has eaten chicken broth every day plus a cooked food diet (no grains, just grass fed/free ranged meat and organic vegetables) and up until last year still ran like a young dog (she is now 18 or 19 years old). I believe the chicken broth lubricated her joints and that it was the dry dog food her previous person was giving her that dried out her joints and led to the ACL tears (although she is spayed so that plays a role too, according to the above information).

Not to mention that full spay/neutering has been proven to cause more behaviour issues. I will never advocate for spaying/neutering. Far to many dogs are desexed way to early leading to massive behavioural issues. If you do desex immediately reduce food by 25% to stop the dog getting fat.Check your dogs and bitches daily . Females mammary strips daily , males testicles etc. Great video Dr Jones . It will of cause cost more to do a partial . Thank you : )

Diet is a factor, if your dog was eating commercial food commercial causes a lot of cancers and tumors and system failure, your dog probably could have lived much longer. It's because we are brainwashed to think that dogs are only supposed to live around 10 years when they can actually live longer, same with cats. There have been cats that have lived into their twenties.

My old dog was neutered at 9 years old. He was I. For bladder surgery to remove stones and they said he had an enlarged prostrate and should neuter him. I said yes. He later developed cushings disease and cancer which ended up taking his life at 13. Do you think removing those important hormones caused the cushings disease and the subsequent cancer? If I could go back I wouldn’t neuter him knowing what I know now. My new female just went rough her fist heat. I am still researching before I go ahead with a spay if I do at all.

We were told from a breeder where we got our French Bulldog to wait until his growth plates were closed before neutering him and to have an xray done around 1 yr of age to see if they've closed. What are the pros and if any cons of this? Would love if you could do a video commenting on this issue. This was never told to us before when we purchased a female french bulldog from her 5 yrs ago. Is this a new discovery and are other people hearing it also?

Hello, again Dr. Jones. My fur kids are rescues. They were spayed and neutered as adult dogs. 2, 2-1/2 and 3 years of age. I like you, have had a partial spay/neuter (LOL). I am not a vet. But I know very well that I would never consider having my baby daughters' uteruses and overies removed. The need those sex hormones for normal development. Why would it be any different for animals? I feel that people showed wait until their dogs are 2 years old before spaying/neutering them. Your opinion please.

Dr. Becker online vet says the problem with getting these procedures done is that vets have not learned how to do them. A vasectomy for dogs is not more simple than a neuter. I will be searching for a vet who will do this if needed, but I understand it will take a sea change in thinking, once again, for vets to get on board. People will have to start asking for it in very large numbers to make a difference. Dr. Becker says she practiced on doggie cadavers in order to learn how to do these procedures before ever doing them on a live dog. She was out there on her own trying to learn this as it was not being done in the vet world. Better yet, be a responsible owner, keep your male and female dogs separated during the short period of time your female dogs are in heat, and keep females at home and isolated from other dogs. Keep males in hand on leash when you take them out in public for walks, etc, if you can't find a vet to do these same procedures thatare done on humans to preserve human health, and you want to preserve the health of your pets as long as possible throughout their lives.

The Nordic countries like Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, Denmark don't routinely spay or neuter there dogs. Neither do they have a dog over population problem. Why, because they have strict laws in place for breeders and more importantly for the owners. Everything we are told in the UK why we should neuter our dogs is rubbish. I'm ashamed to say that our animal welfare standards are way behind the countrys I have just mentioned. Do your homework people and shop round for your dogs sake. There are good vet's out there but they are very hard to find. I personally found a wonderful vet Dr Christopher Day down Oxford. All the best.

I just got this 4 month old kitten an OSS that I rescued a few weeks back. She was partially in heat at the time. 10 days later after the surgery and she is in full heat again. I don't know what to do? She is constantly bothering my male cat and keeping us awake at night. I rescued her from the streets of Puerto Vallarta and I plan on finding her a home in the USA or Canada asap. I don't think any new owner would be very happy about this. In Canada, I got my cat an OSS but she never has any signs of a heat cycle thereafter and It's been 4 years. She goes outside daily and she is fine. I am thinking my vet didn't keep the ovaries in with my cat in Canada. Will this kitten be able to go outside when she is old enough? Or do I get a full spay done? I believe animals need to go outside as well so need to make sure she won't take off while in heat. It's a difference between night and day between the 2 cats
