I have a toy American Eskimo dog that will be spayed soon. What is the recovery time after the surgery? Would it be better to have her spayed in the spring?
Young, healthy female dogs having routine, uncomplicated abdominal surgery, including an ovariohysterectomy (commonly referred to as being spayed), usually recover quite quickly. As with any surgery, spaying has possible complications, which you should discuss with your veterinarian.
