Hi! It's ok to spay your GR at this age. You can visit the vet and see what they say. However, the recovery will be slightly slower than younger puppies tho. Don't worry, it will be ok. I don't think you can have the opportunity to sit in during the operation. Before the operation, you have to fast your dog, at least 12 hours before the op. Can't even drink water coz if not, she will puke a lot after the op. Can't bathe 2 weeks after the op, so it's better if you bathe her a day before the op lo. It's good that you are considering neutering and spaying your dogs. Shows that you are a responsible owner. Yeah, I have lotsa ppl commenting I m being cruel, taking the dignity away of my 6mths old Benji. Haha... but you must be firm lo. Ask why do you want to do it in the first place? We want to prevent unnecessary pregnancies, reduce spraying and humping problems, reduce the risk of cancer and improving the health of our pets. Also, ppl will stop pestering you to "lend" your JRT to them to make purebred puppies. Hehe.
We have a new member in our family! Her name is Jessie, a toy poodle!
