Acromegaly (hypersomatotropism) is an endocrine disorder characterized by progestin-induced hypersecretion of growth hormone (GH) by mammary hyperplasia, with resultant overgrowth of the soft tissue, bone, and viscera. In humans and cats, acromegaly is commonly caused by pituitary adenomas producing GH. Rare cases of pituitary adenomas resulting in acromegaly have been reported in dogs, but acromegaly is usually caused by GH production at hyperplastic mammary glands or mammary adenocarcinoma.
These pro-early neuter studies were not carried out long enough to evaluate the risk of cancer. In my experience, dogs neutered under 6 months develop less obesity and donât establish some of the âmaleâ behaviors that neutering is meant to treat. They are also less likely to jump a fence, fight, or get hit by a car.
That is just my 2 cents. Spay/neuter and the age at which to do it is a personal preference. Veterinarians will almost all say to spay/neuter at/around/prior to 6 months or age-as that is around the time when *most* female dogs will enter their first season-which is when they can get pregnant.egarding spay/neuter on a HUSKY ! I have a 5 month male and a 3 month female, i got told to spay/neuter them at 6months. would they still grow big how they suppose to? or should i wait till the are one year?
