I almost lost my small Maltese puppy because she was not spayed. She was still a pup but developed an infection of the uterus during her first heat cycle. Fortunately we got her to the vet in time and her life was saved. This type of infection can occur at any age during the heat cycle.
You girl is continually going through hormonal cycles for no reason and those hormones can eventually cause mighty problems for her. The sooner you do it the better. Go to a vet that has experience with small animals and that you trust and your little girl will be fine. |
