Spaying pre-season
Probably a silly question! Molly started her season on April 16th and is currently towards the end of a false pregnancy. She is no longer digging or carrying soft toys around, but is still quite 'saggy boobs' though not producing milk any more. I did have her booked in for spaying, but have cancelled that on vets advice. How long does it take for hormones to settle post false pregnancy? Do I have time to have her spayed before her next season? I would like to get her done, as she had mammary lumps during her season and I have been advised that she is more prone to mammary cancers and pyometra (sp?) due to her hormonal problems. She is 4, almost 5

Don't know the answer but will be interested to hear what your vet says. My babe will be due her op in a couple of weeks. (3 months from start of first season) I'll be seeing the vet the early August. Want her to have a total & thorough check before the op - her litter sister died under anaesthetic. I am terrified.
