Working in shelters and with rescues for over 30 yrs I only know a handful of dogs who had problems with surgery and none past the 10-14 days to heal. My rescue friends has had 15 yr old toy breeds done both for sterilizing and teeth. She hasn't had any problems but does bloodwork before.

From: gunna55 <gunn...@hotmail.com> To: Chihuahuas@yahoogroups.com CC: I have 4 Chis. 2 of them are 2 and 3 yrs old, both males. They are not fixed and spray in the house all the time. I have them now in a male diaper during the day, when I dont take them out for a walk. I am not having them fixed, because I had my 9 yrs. old Chi fixed, and he has been sick very often since. These Chis will not be near any females. I work from home, so I take very good care of them, and keep a good eye on them. They are never loose, and dont come in touch with any females. Is there any advise for me?
