  Ask your vet if you can set up a payment plan for Abbys spay and pay off the vet yourself.  You dont even have to tell your family.  They will wonder why Abby can't get pregnant but you dont have to tell them that you had her fixed.  
 Its so not fair when someone gives you something but then thinks they have a say or can what they want with the something they gave you just because they paid for it.
