I got my puppy from an animal rescue shelter and I got a form saying that the spaying was paid for, but I had to have it done in 30 days. I called to make an appoinment for it and asked first at what age it is usually done and they said 4 months. I told her about the 30 day form I'd received and she asked if it was from a shelter. When I told her yes, she said "Oh, that's okay. They do that and it's fine." So they scheduled her for next Saturday.
However, last night at a local pet store I was talking to the clerk and she said at my puppy's age that her immune system is not built up enough that if her stitches were to get infected she could very well die. Now I'm worried. Should I call the vet and see if I can postpone, go ahead with it? Has anyone else had to spay or neuter their animal before 4 months? TIA
