Our first port of call is to contact the vet that peformed the spey. Otherwise I think its an ultrasound you need.
 
You could always try feeling for a spay scar... If you don't feel that, then you can try U/S. I am not sure the cost over there... I have seen it vary in the US, depending on which city or state I was working in. Some places as low as $20 and others as high as $100+!! Sorry i cannot be of more help.
 
have contacted vets on this ....waiting to hear back .

apparently it takes a vet with good ultresound experience to be able to tell.
 
If her spay was done recently (i.e. within the last year or so) a vet should be able to feel the dissolvable stitches under the skin. Apparently they take ages to dissolve :shock:
 
we had same prob when took on dora and snowy (who if any one has seen are up on rin). (were told by owners snowy was neutered but not dora) i personally was unsure due to behaviour.. so i asked the vet(telling her only that one had been apparently done but didnt say which one i had been told as wanted her opinion) she said there is a scar on snowy so she says snowy is speyed. she is a good vet and i value her opinion it would have been around a year since spey so not surprised that scar is able to be felt. dora has no such scar so i am inclined to beleive the prev owners and i think this is less stress than going ahead with the ulttrasound which costs as much as a spey.
