I am getting ready to call our vet to schedule an appointment for our almost 6 month old GSD to get spayed. I am a little nervous about the procedure since I personally know a pup that died shortly after the procedure. Anyone want to hold my hand and tell me it'll be OK? Anything I should know/consider before having the procedure done?
Also, will having my pup spayed calm her the way that neutering a male dog does?
There is so much pressure to have a pup altered and while I want to be a responsible pet owner, I also don't want *my* pup to suffer needlessly or have a procedure done too soon. Is six mos the optimal age or is it just pushed to ensure population control? Would we be better off waiting?
Thanks for your thoughts!
