Old enough to spay?

Big (Dhillon Bunty BunBun) will be 19 weeks old on Tuesday is she old enough to spay yet?

Some vets go on age, some go on their weight, so it depends :)

Personally I would leave it until 6 months unless there is a special reason to get it done sooner.
 
My vet spays at 16+ weeks, but after losing a foster who was younger than we were told - I wait for 6 months unless necessary. Although hormonally in a bonded group, earlier works better:D
 
Well I have booked Dhillon in at the vets. She will be exactly 20 weeks old. The vet is going to check her over to see if she is OK to spay if not will leave her a little longer.

Saffron Walden's plums have not dropped yet and he is smaller than Dhillon so I need to wait a little longer with him.

Thanx everyone.
