If you have a tiny I would be more concerned about making sure you are not going to have retained teeth that will require another procedure that will require anesthesia and giving the little one a chance to mature physically.
The tiny tends to mature slowly and being slow growers they may not reach physical maturity until much later than a regular sized dog. Some studies are suggesting that spaying too early can actually be the cause of tumors and many other health issues that we are seeing in our pets. If you are interested in finding out more there are studies you can read about online in order to make your own decision.
Since you don't have a male dog that your female could be exposed to if she went into heat your situation is better than some I have seen arrive here at YT. |
I definitely do not want another surgery for teeth. So I want to wait that out for sure.
