The first time anyone mentioned speying was tuesday when we visited the new vets,they said if the infection doesnt clear up this week they will do a scan and swabs and then speying becomes an option. Nah,if vets were as honest as you lot she would already be booked in!! Im going to see them again so I will tell them all this and see if they can hold off as long as possible, I would rather the pups feed from her as she knows what shes doing more than me. Thanks for your help and I will keep you posted!
