How much does she weigh now? I would really encourage you to get her spayed after she finishes her heat cycle. You can still greatly decrease her chance of ever getting mammary cancer. Had she been spayed before she ever had a heat cycle, you would have eliminated her risk, but spaying after the first cycle still keeps the risk low, about 8%. If you wait until after her second heat cycle, her risk jumps to 25%.
