Hi
Well I learned a very important lesson in the last 2 weeks. I should of had Brandy spayed before her first heat. So I just wanted to share this and I know with show dogs they can't be spayed. But if you are just having your female basset as a companion spaying before the first heat can save you from what we have just gone through. I hope the moderators don't mind that I am posting this, and if it is deleted I won't be upset, but if I can save a new basset or any breed owner the pain I have gone through and what my Brandy has gone through I had to offer this advise. Brandy is okay for now, but her mammary tumor was malignant and if we had spayed her earlier then we did she probably wouldn't be going through this ordeal. Every season she went through added to the percentage of the chance to get mammary cancer. I honestly didn't know this.
I posted earlier about a possible cancer mass by reading that you can see the pain we have gone through. I am very hopeful Brandy will be with us for several more years. But I will never make the same mistake again I will spay or neuter as soon as safe to do so.
