Thank you for the information, it was very helpful.
Spaying has been scheduled for the day after she turns 6 mos old. Only bad thing in my opinion, is they want to keep her overnight.
While much of this is completely understood and appreciated, the bad part is she is left 'alone' thru the nite. What if something happens, no one is there to take care of her.
