Now I am very afraid to have her spayed, especially since she already has health problems. |
You should also be concerned with her getting pyometra.

Pyometra is fairly common in unspayed females and it is life threating. It is safer to spay females while they are healthy rather than having to do a spay in an emergency situation. If your dog has health problems that would prevent her from undergoing anesthesia then that would be another story. I know one lady that had a liver shunt female and she was always afraid to get her little female spayed but then the little dog got pymetra and the little dog nearly died but she did make it through the surgery and she made a full recovery.
