Thanks for sharing your experience.....I'm worried about putting Twinkle under too.....but she is already 5lb at 12 weeks so I'm thinking she'll be a nice solid weight by the time she's 6months - is it right that it's less risky for them if they are bigger? (sorry if I sound really dumb!) It doesn't sound like there are any benefits to me waiting for her to have her first heat before I have her spayed then.................?
