I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your dog to breast cancer. That must have been incredibly difficult for you. And now, with your new puppy, it's understandable that you'd want to do everything you can to keep her healthy.
When it comes to spaying, there might be a few reasons your vet has advised against it right now. Sometimes, vets recommend waiting until a puppy reaches a certain age or size for health reasons, as this can reduce the risk of surgical complications. Spaying too early can also have potential impacts on a puppy's development, including her growth and hormone regulation.
In the meantime, you can focus on maintaining her overall health. Provide a balanced diet, regular exercise, and keep up with her vaccinations and vet check-ups. Monitor her behavior and physical condition closely; if you notice unusual symptoms like a bloated abdomen, lethargy, or abnormal discharges, these might need prompt attention.
Do keep the conversation open with your vet about the timing of the spay. If you still have concerns or want a second opinion, feel free to book a video consult with us at Dial A Vet. We’d be happy to discuss your puppy’s health and your options further.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
