I totally understand this.
Poppy is 6 months old and weighs between 5lbs-6lbs at the moment.
I have always planned to get her spayed around 7-8 months old when she is finished teething.
But now that the time is closer I am a nervous wreck and having second thoughts.
I know so many females which have died while being spayed and I really couldnt handle loosing Poppy.
Its a horrible decision to have to make, I feel ill everytime I think about it.
Ive even thought of NOT having Poppy spayed because I dont want to put her under an unessessary anesthetic, but then there are so many risks to not getting her spayed I just dont know what to do...
I think the best advice is to talk it through with your vet.
I will be asking him how many spays he has done, how many dogs died, how many small dogs he has performed this operation on and all about anesthetics before I make my decision.
Good luck... it really is an awful position to be in.
