Hallo zusammen,
wir haben unsere Hündinnen bisher auch nie kastrieren lassen. Auch in einer Familie mit 2 Kindern geht das völlig ohne Probleme. Das Risiko der Krebserkankungen von nicht kastrierten Hündinnen gegenüber kastrierten Hündinnen ist laut unserer Erfahrungen und der unserer Hundeschule nicht größer. Wir haben uns dazu vorher selbst informiert und sind nicht blind den Meinungen der Tierärzte gefolgt, die solche OPs schnell mal unter gewissen Umständen empfehlen. Das Risiko, das Hündinnen ohne Kastration an Krebs erkranken liegt bei ca. 2 %. Hündinnen mit einer Kastration vor der ersten Läufigkeit liegen unter einem Prozent.
