I think it best to have a discussion with your vet. There are risks with any surgery, in her case, there is also risk involved in putting off the surgery until she is older and more developed. It might be better to take care of the hernias first, soon, and delay the spay until she is bigger and her liver is more developed. Also, it would be wise to get bloodwork done prior and a Bile Acid Test to access her liver function, in advance.

A discussion with her breeder may be in order also as hernias are hereditary and her parents should not be bred again. If you have a contract, or a health guarantee, sometimes the breeder will be willing to assist with the cost of the surgery, or refund the purchase price of the puppy.
