[topknot]

My sisiter in-law did not spay her female and her dog did end up getting mamory tumors. I was a vet tech then and she brought her dog in for the surgery to remove the tumors, but they were so hard to remove. They are spider like, the tumors, with a knot mass in the middle and if you do not get all the spider like fingers out with the mass knot it will spread rapidly after surgery. Also it is all the same white color as her tissues are, so very hard to tell the difference in order to get all the tumor. We tried so hard to get eveything and hoped. But she died 6 months later.

So yes, getting females spayed is the best for health reasons and a spay operation is so much easier on them than an operation of digging and slicing them up for expoloratory when they are ill.

Also if you have any males at your home - I am afraid that you could also have an accident like so many others come on here and state. It is so much better all around just to have her spayed. They will do blood work before the surgery, just ask to be sure, to check and make sure she is healthy before the spay and it should go fine.
