Since miniature schnauzers are prone to cushing's disease, I thought I would pass this along. Also, because so many rescue groups and shelters feel there is no harm in early spay/neuter, and some of you may be adopting another rescue dog in the future, I thought I would pass this along. I would suggest listening to all parts of this wonderful video from Dr. Karen Becker, but please note what
she says about early spaying and neutering and Cushing's Disease, which is in part 3.
