Oops, wanted to add:
You said she had an inguinal hernia. Once properly repaired, the hernia does not pose a health risk. But, most vets prefer to do the hernia repair the same time as the spay to avoid a second surgery and the risks of anesthesia. Depending on the severity of the hernia, your vet may recommend an earlier time frame for spaying than they would otherwise.
