Chloe and Joey · 07-14-2008, 09:14 AM

Hi everyone,

Before I start this thread, I again want to thank everyone who helped me get through Chloe's pregnancy, her labor, and the puppies that were born premature. Your kind words and support continue to comfort me today as I still grieve.

With that said, I do not want Chloe to have to go through the loss of four puppies all over again. I am 99.9% positive that I want to have her spayed. Of course there is a minute feeling inside that I would love her to have puppies, but I know I must consider her health and well-being over my silly little thoughts of puppies running around the house. Therefore, I want to have her spayed. When is the best time to do it? Chloe birthed the puppies on June 30. I want to ensure that she has plenty of healing time before undergoing any procedure. When would you recommend that I get her spayed? There is no rush as she is not scheduled to go back into heat until November.
