desexing after birth

Question
How long after my doe gives birth can i get her desexed?

Answer
You want to wait until the babies are at least 8 weeks old.  After you wean the babies then you can get her spayed.  You want the babies to be weaned or else the stress from the surgery will cause the mom not to care for the babies.

Good luck
