I did not like having to leave Uni overnight for her spay either. But I already knew the vets at this hospital and I liked them. I didn't want to take a chance with another hospital that we never went to. So I did it. I asked them several times if I could come get her the same day. Nope. She's not crate trained and I can't imagine how she felt staying in a cage all night. I was there first thing in the morning to pick her up.

I would also agree with Deb in spaying around 8 months so any baby teeth that don't come out on their own can be taken out during spay. I had a foster that was neutered at 4 months bc that particular vet liked to do it early. He ended up with double rows of teeth and really bad breath bc he didn't lose hardly any baby teeth. If he had waited, they could have taken out the baby teeth.
