I know this is something my vet will have to help me with. We're going in next week.
I adopted an adult female from a local kill shelter. They said she was spayed, but she acts like she's not. Will the vet be able to tell by examining her?
If she's not spayed, will it be safe to do so now? I know anesthesia can be dangerous for older animals. The shelter estimated her to be around five, but were unsure because she was a stray.
How old is "too old" to spay?
