Many illnesses share similar symptoms but require different treatments. A medical exam is necessary for an accurate diagnosis, without which appropriate treatment cannot be given.
You should always consult your vet before following any suggestions for medication or treatment you have read about.

just out of curiosity whose dana krempels? i've never had my girls done at four months cos it's such a big op and i think they're still so small to go through it. have always taken vets advice and gone for 6months ish but that's interesting about bone density. would there be much difference in the fat they lay down between 6 and 9 months, assuming sensible diet of course???

really? I've never heard of the 9 months thinsg before, I was going to get Leial spayed soon aswell :? Shoul dI really wait 2 more months? I'm worried the frustration may drive her insane! :shock:
The RWA information here: http://www.houserabbit.co.uk/rwf/articles/uterine.htm says as soon as possible after 5/6 months and many vets/rescues will get females done at this age, so if you think another 2 months would drive her bonkers, I'd be inclined to get it done soon.

mmm.... :? I'm not sure what to do for the best.I'd like to bond her with Derek who is neutered but not sure if to wait until shes spayed or go for it now. Shes only eight weeks and they kiss and nuzzle through the cage gaps but i dont want to mess it up. any ideas?
if she's only eight weeks she *shouldn't* have any problems bonding as she'll probably be submissive and will be so glad to have a friend. as long as he's been neutered long enough to have lost the erm, urge (!) any mounting should be just to establish dominance rather than him pestering her
