I don't want to have pups but maybe someday, but Ruby is so little, afraid if I fix her she will get really fat and over weight like my cat poor cat 25 pds.. And no energy, I love that my Ruby girl loves to play and run around, afraid she will not be no fun just a couch potato??

I don't know about them gaining weight after spaying. I have a small female and I am waiting untill she is 10-12 months before spaying her.

Biddy did not gain any weight after spaying. Her energy level was exactly the same (high!!). I didn't notice any changes in her whatsoever...

My friend have 2 spayed Yorkie girls and they are not couch potatoes . The only way a dog gains weight after been neutered or spayed is lack of activities .

I had Maggie spayed when she was right around 6 or 7 months old.

As an adult she weighs 4 pounds 1 ounce...without a bit of fat on her.

She's way too busy to gain any weight! This is a dog with responsibilities!!!

I think the thing about gaining weight applies to cats more than dogs. If anything Maggy is too skinny.

Ihad many dogs spayed and castrated and only one gained weight and that was only because we fed her too much ! If the choice is between weight gain and sparing her from cancer later in life I know what I would choose.
