My cockapoo, Jersey, is getting spayed this month. Shes almost 4 years old....we adopted her from another family and for some reason she never got spayed when young.
I'm sooooo worried about her as the vet said older dogs don't heal as quickly, and are more prone to infections ect...
I am now wondering if spaying her is still the best for her, I am just having second thoughts!! What does everyone else think?
One thing of note is that Jersey has had some major aggression issues (which is whay shes gone to several different homes) shes very territorial, she'll attack any dog, whether it's a pitbull, wolfhound or a baby pup! we've worked on socializing, but we were kicked out of obediance training for bothering other dogs! The dog park is ok, but if any dog pays too much attention to her she growls and nips them. And we've done everthing Cesar Millan suggests!
So, we are hoping that spaying her will help with the agression and territorialness???? I know this works in male dogs, never heard much about females though!
