Poor Alexander! Cocker spaniels commonly deal with this issue as a breeder in general. While your own veterinarian is the best one to answer this question as they are most familiar with his medical history and conditions, the short answer is he is still young enough to have the procedure. I recommend to set up an appointment to discuss this with your veterinarian. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
