A viewer asks: “My female puppy is now 6 months old and lives with her father and me. He is unsterilized and we met with the veterinary surgeon to discuss options ranging from vasectomy for him, to full spay for her, to my preference, which would be ovary sparing hysterectomy. I ran across a popular alternative veterinarian who points to research that shows there are issues with cancer, and so forth, in females whose gonads are entirely removed. She says, like us, that dogs need the endocrine hormone system in order to function properly. The surgeon, is able to do these other options, but has seen issues with pyometra and mammary tumors (50% malignant) in female dogs that have had ovary-sparing spay (OSS).” What can we tell him?
