Urinary incontinence doesn't reflect an increase or decrease chance with age of spaying. I have a girl that I had spayed at 3 years old, months after weaning a litter and before her next heat. A couple of years later she developed urinary incontinence. UI is treatable with hormones, she gets stilbesterol once a week. Stilbesterol is a very cheap drug so costs are minimal. The dosage is goign to depend on how much of a problem the female has.
You want to be sure you have a vet very experienced in surgeries and especially on Toy breeds of dogs. For extra precautions, you can have a presurgical blood test to be sure liver/kidney is functioning normally and during the actual spay, you can ask she be put on an IV. They charge a little extra for these but not that much and they do come out of the surgery a little better if they are on IV during the procedure. |
