I waited til Feather was 11 months old to have her spayed. She weigheed 2.8lbs and I searched until I found a vet who had all the best equipment and paid tons of extra money for a minimally invasive spay. She had one heat before her spay. 3 months after the spay she got a hernia at the site. The vet said her muscles were like tissue paper. She is now 18 months ols and I worried constantly about the hernia. She also has some molars that were getting bad so last week I traveled to the same vet (1 1/2 hours away) and had her hernia repaired and her teeth taken care of. 2 days later what looks like another hernia popped out. I spent the day crying. The vet thinks it may be an accumalation of fluid called a seroma and says it may go away in 3 weeks, At this point I wish I had never had her spayed. I know the danger of cancer is greater but she can't keep having surgery either. Sorry for the long rant but I guess I just needed to vent. |
