I completely understand your anxiety! I waited to have my 2 girls done. Sadie,6 1/2 lbs,was 3 yrs old and Lillie,4 1/2 lbs, was 2 yrs old. I had them done together. I was a NERVOUS WRECK!! In the long run, spaying outways not spaying. I would have blood work done before the spay and discuss all your concerns with your vet. Make sure they use either Isoflourine or sevoflorine (anesthetic) They are both good. However, sevo is a more gentle anesthetic. They wake up faster without alot of the side effects of the other anesthetics. Again. I would discuss all your concerns with your vet.
