Yes, I am aware of this and my every intention was to get her spayed this week. My vet wanted me to try to get her up to three and a half pounds since getting her three weeks ago, which we hit over the weekend. We had an appointment for today but now will have to wait until she finishes and is well beyond this cycle.
