I have a lovely 5 year old female that has had 2 c-sections and is now retired. I was advised that I didn't need to worry about spaying her as I had no viable males around and she never is around other viable males. I have an almost 9 male who is fixed as well as a 3 year old female who is fixed. I am having a new male fixed in 3 weeks who requires cryptorchid surgery and at this point the cost will be over $700. Now I am being told Tassie needs to be fixed as well with a cost closer to $1,000. I am still in shock. Also I have been told there is no guarantee she will make it through surgery. I have been through her heat cycles and she doesn't mind her panties. I have been trying to find out the pros and cons of getting her done. I am considering getting a second opinion from another vet as my vet has been kind of wishy washy about the need. Can anyone give me some advice?
