Donating YT 4000 Club Member | get her spayed she will do fine, I retire my girls at age 5 and have them spayed,and never had a problem, I know of many maiden girls that get spayed after age 5 and do well.. best of luck.. she will take a few days to feel better remember to keep her from licking the insicion and she will be fine.. hugs, |

Donating YT 4000 Club Member | no, we don't want any puppies at ther age she can die, like I said i retire my silky girls at age 5, is too much for a maiden bitch to have puppies at age 6. thank you for giving her the love she deserves.. hugs, |

Donating YT 4000 Club Member | the only thing I will recomend at her age is to have a complete blood panel done on her, I just had my former stud done at age 8 and before I scheduled his surgery I had a all the blood work done to make sure he is healthy and strong to go thru with the surgery, he was nurered last thursday. hugs, |

| Welcome! Carmen gave you great advice. Just be sure to have the blood work done. It's something that should be done before being anesthetized for surgery. She'll do fine. Good luck and keep us updated.

| Welcome to YT. I agree you got good advice. Most good breeders do retire their females around age 5. And good breeders arrange for a spay before, placing them in a forever home. Unfortunately not all breeders have excellent ethics, like our own Carman. She is right about the pre- surgery labs too. You don't know her history compleatly, and labs are agood way to find out about any health issues she may have. I will keep her on my prayer list for Feb. 24th.
