Milly came to us as a rescue at 7 months old. One of the conditions attached to our ownership of her was that she be spayed.
Our vet advised waiting until after her first season and she was spayed at 11 months old, two months after her season had finished. Everything went very smoothly, her small scar healed well and the only difference we've noticed is in her coat which has taken on a more woolly appearance. Just makes her even more cuddly
