How big is your little girl? That would probably make a big difference when you would want to spay. My vet recommends around 6 months, but if she is very small, I personally would want to wait longer or not do it at all. Just my opininon of course. I know that most people would disagree with me here, but I'd rather keep a good eye on her during her heats twice a year so she wasn't mated than risk her life during the anesthesia and surgery of the spay. Spaying also helps lessen the occurance of life threatening problems when they are older. It's a personal choice of what you think is best. Also it's not sad that she doesn't have a litter. How would she know any different? |
