Because by then they should be hormonally mature even if not fully structurally mature. I don't read much research - I follow experience !
Ideally, not at all, but if they MUST be spayed, then let them grow up first.

Hey Everyone,
Thanks for the good thoughts. we went to visit Lenny at the vet today. he came through his surgery just fine and they also took care of his umbilical hernia while they were at it. they removed a big piece of rubber from his small intestine… about the size of a silver dollar. yuck. they said it was lodged and would not have passed on its own so its good they went in to get it. it must have been left over from whatever he ate that got him sick a month ago, cause it was the same thing... some kind of rubber thing. dont know where it came from. frusterating...
hopefully we can bring him home tomorrow!
-
Glad your boy is doing well, I know you will be glad to get him home!

Yea for Lenny… and I can relate to you not knowing "what" it was or how he got it.... been there, done that with Kristii... main thing is he is on the road to recovery.... I am sure he will be really happy to be home...

We are so glad to hear that Lenny is doing better. What a relief it must be to put this behind you.
Lenny is so fortunate to have you, who monitored him so closely and wouldn't give up when times were tough for you both.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery and a happy homecoming!

Basenji's are related to goats, aren't they? Rubber?! Crazy, they just eat anything that they are not suppose to.
Glad to hear that Lenny is okay and will be home.
