Yeah, I totally get where you're coming from, Frenchy, I really do (all my dogs are other people's throwaways from irresponsible breeding)...but you must know me well enough by now to know that I would NEVER allow unplanned puppies to come into this world, and that everything I do with my dogs is in their best interest, period. Bottom line: this is not a matter of "IF" I'm going to spay her, it's "WHEN".
Thanks for all your thoughts people....
I'm going to chat with the vet today about the mange complication...if it means postponing the spay, well, I guess we'll have to just manage anything that comes up, behaviourly or otherwise. Heidi is crated when not attended (she is a VERY naughty puppy
) so there would be no risk of any fights or anything, and I can handle little dog messes, if it comes to that...
