It's understandable you are second guessing yourself, when it comes to our babies, we can feel so guilty, that we are making the right choices. You did make the right choice.
Now that receptionist, tell the vet what she said. I've been told some really stupid and wrong things by receptionist, both at the vets and human Dr's. It's worth checking.
As for the op, I've had the human equivelant and it's GREAT lol. My pippi's having her first season, and she's miserable and moody, needs a lot of cuddles (which I love) Even at one week, seemed to be in pain at times.
It might be natural, but as she's not being bred, I think for her to be so desperate to get to a male, and not be able to, twice a year would be unkind.
I've read the bitch can have incontinents if they are operated on too soon after a season, that it's best to wait 3 months, but have not read anything about it being the norm or happening other wise. Our male was incontinent in his old age, nothing to do with neutering or spaying. It's probably the meds and just due to the op,
Our thoughts are with you all and hoping Crystals back to normal soon.
