You should definately get her spayed if you don't she could end up with cancer. When I was a child we had a golden, the best dog I ever had, an well we didn't get her spayed, we didn't realize the importance of it. So as odds have it she developed cancer and had a emergency spay done. Needless to say she didn't live very long after that happened. I would give anything to go back and do it all over again to get her spayed early rather than putting it off like we did. I know several other people who had the same thing happen to their dogs, so it really is important for them to get spayed. Your girl is at a good age and weight to get her spayed. Like they say, the benefits out weigh the risks. And as long as you monitor her intake of food and amount of excercise then you should not have to worry about your dog gaining weight. |
