There has been a retrospective study that looked at the safety of spaying and neutering your pet before or after 6 months. Anesthetic and surgical complications and problems were of similar numbers that there is at this time, no thought that early neuter represents any additional risks.

Furthermore the effects of neutering on spraying are not affected whether the spraying has already begun or not.

Good luck with your decision. I hope this information helps you.
