New episode of The Daily Dach β Zanelyn Dachshunds Podcast is here! ποΈπΎ
Join Amelia and special guest Kya as they chat about early des*xing, IVDD risk, and why Dachshund families should have informed conversations with their vet about timing, back health, and lifelong care.
A landmark UK study published in 2018 found that des*xing Dachshunds before 12 months of age significantly increases the risk of Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD). Early des*xing removes s*x hormones essential for physical maturation, which can negatively impact the development of the dog's bones, ligaments, and muscles.
