Tikki currently has a elastic bandage around her middle to stop her froml licking, but I will post a pic as soon asI figure out how. Regarding keeping ovaries intact, I refer you to Dr. Becker and an interview on her wwebsite with a doctor who has pioneered studies in the efficacy of the surgery. For us it was a natural choice of leaving aas much in as possible but eliminating the possibility of having puppies. The argument re mammary gland tumors later wasn't an issue,, as the evidence shows that females who had many litters, were the ones who got tumors more. We also are of the belief that the raw diet supports a good immune system and that homeopathic treatment can handle whatever needs she may have in the future.
If you google Dr.Karen Becker Vet- spaying, you will get an article and there are a few that she has had over the years on spaying. The trikk is finding a vet who will do it.
