Well since I've always had male dogs, I was wondering when I should get Ginger spayed. She is a little over 5 months old now going on 6 months Feb, 4th. I definately don't want puppies and I know she's prolly on the verge of her first heat cycle.
Now atm I've been paying alot of bills and really can't afford the $100 to get her spayed just yet. Around Feburary I'll be able to go ahead and do it, now my next question is they say its better to get it done before there first heat cycle. Now what if she has her first heat cycle and I get her spayed afterwards, will this hurt her in the long run? Also what do I look for when she does go in heat? I assume there is discharge of blood correct?
I'm just a bit worried cause if she goes in heat before I can get this done, then I'm afraid it might affect her health. Guess I just need advice from you experienced female owners Thanks as always
