Personally, I think that sooner would be better if she has any retained teeth. Other than that I'd say either is perfectly fine. If you were thinking that she would need 2 weeks for recovery IMO they bounce back very quickly after a spay. The other thing that you need to consider is that the longer you wait the greater her chance of being in heat and pushing the spay back even further. What I am saying is that if at Thanksgiving she is not yet in heat then a spay would be a go. But what if you happen to wait until Christmas and then she does go into heat. That wound leave you with having to push it back to a time that you would not be off. Something to think about as well. They will not spay if they are in heat. The longer you wait the greater your chances will be that it could happen. Just a little more to think about in your decision.
