[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 316014, member: 1963"] It'd probably be much better to have her spayed before she has to go to quarantine. This way you are there to watch her during her recovery and can act on any problems that might be missed in quarantine. The spay is no real big deal so long as her overall health checks out OK. It is the same surgery as a complete hysterectomy in human females, but due to dogs and cats being able to walk on all fours, they bounce back a lot quicker. She'll likely need just an overnight stay in the clinic, a couple of days worth of painkillers, and probably a special collar to prevent her chewing at the incision. It is possible that your regular vet may not recommend spaying her. I've seen it happen with older dogs, but usually only with those that have underlying health conditions. Check also with your local Humane Society as many of them offer spay/neuter clinics at a steep discount. [/QUOTE]
