did you have any of those issues?
A lot of vets are not educated on the things that can befall small breed dogs, does your vet have a lot of experience?



Mammary cancer can happen to any intact female, breeding or not. Tink does not have any liver issues so I have no first hand experience with that. But, if she did fine with anesthesia once and the vet said her bloodwork looked okay, I would go ahead with the spay. But, that's just me
