Biscuit's Mum!
Warren Veteran
Hi all :wave:
We have had Biscuit for 6 months now, and she has just turned 2 years old. I was told by the vet and by the breeder (!) who sold her to us, that spaying was not something we needed to do, and we could always breed from her in the future.
I have now learned that it is not at all the case I was told that as she had had a litter she would be at less risk of cancer, this is not necessarily true.
I have called the vet for a quote on spaying, and I am quite sure that this is the best thing to do, and at a perfect time, as she is completely settled and comfortable in the house now.
I am just slightly worried about her, putting her through an operation. It is very standard isn't it?
Is it likely to have any impact on her personality. I like her being sometimes bolshi and sometimes snuggly, I don't want her to change (but of course I will cope with this perfectly well if it is for the good of her health).
I am quite certain after some research and better advice that it is the way to go so please don't bombard me with angry messages! I just really want some reassurance that spaying is utterly the right thing.
Sorry to be soft, I just love my girl and am always scared to do the best for her!
