Welcome, my name is***** am a BVSc-graduate of Vet School, with 15 years experience of Medicine and Surgery. It is my privilege to attend to your question shortly.

• Thank you for the question about Doris.

• Yes it sounds as though she is at the ideal age to have her spayed. I normally like to spay them from about 6 months of age.

• Spaying does have many benefits when done at a young age. It will prevent mammary tumours when she is older.
