My sweet little beagle was spayed after her second heat at a year and 5 months. Before she was a calm snuggle bunny, the only thing she chased was rabbits. After her complicated spay she started to withdraw I figured it was because she was in pain, the vet agreed. Once she was fully healed I noticed her becoming more intense around food, she was always a piglet but now she was starting to growl when the other dog walked by. She also did not want to be petted anymore, or curl up in my lap.

Its been 7 months since her spay and she is now attacking my other dog to take her food toys spot on the dog bed. Before she was happy to meet other dogs on walks, now she growls and lunges and attempts to bite them. She has not tried that with me yet, but it probably just a matter of time. My sweet baby is now a terror. My vet says it can happen, well great!

I truly do believe spaying a female after they have had a estrogen surge changes them. And i think its arrogant for people to think take away a dogs hormones and all that its interlinked with and nothing will change. Go tell a 20 year old woman that you can remove her uterus and ovaries and she will be fine and dandy as is. Dogs are mammals even though they dont function completely as a human female, there are changes with desexing. Only a fool dont realize that hormones rule the body.
