There is very little risk in anesthesia now as long as you get the pre surgery blood work. Not spaying is so much more dangerous there is an infection a female can get in her uterus that if not taken care of in 48 hours will kill her and then even if it is taken care of and you think they are in the clear they still can end up dying. If you spay them before there first heat them have almost no chance of mammary cancer but for every heat they have that goes up. We have had many 3 pounders on here get spayed with no issues.
