Spaying Dora after weaning her kits

Hi,

Dora's babies will be 8 weeks this weekend. I am seperating them from Dora as she keeps manically trying to hump them :shock:.
I will keep them together until they go to their new homes (Barley to Maizy and Murphy and Smartie to someone privately)

I would like to get Dora spayed asap, how long do I have to wait? Her behaviour is really extreme and I feel really sorry for her she seems so tormented. She won't calm down and has taken to trying to eat the wire on her pen :cry:

As the kits have been with her up until now I assume she will be producing milk still and I don't know how long this will continue for?

Thanks,

Lucy x
 
I would leave it a week or so after seperating her from the babies to insure she has stopped lactating. I know my Vet does not like to spay a lactating Doe or one right in the middle of a pseudopregnancy

Well done with finding homes for the babies :D
