Question
i want to get my soon to be 7 mos old pitt/rott mix pup  spayed and i want to know are there any dangers that can occur  during or after the procedure. are there any precautionary measurements i should take?

Answer
Hi Ashia. Find out if your breed(s) are sensitive to any type of anesthisia. If so, make sure the vet doesn't use it on your dog. With any surgery, there's always a risk, you can't help that. After the surgery, a dog can pull their stitches out, so you need to keep her quiet and don't allow her to engage in physical activity for a bit. Most dog's have no problems with the spay surgery. Talk to your vet about any concerns you may have, and about any health problems that your dog may have that could cause complications. It should work out just fine. Good luck!
