Our 7.5 month old Toller went into heat. Her littermate joined her the next day.
Neither one has gained any weight in the last 6 weeks, though the vet says they are the perfect weight. I saw her 20 month old sister and they are exactly the same size and shape.
1) When should I spay her? I have read it can be done 8 weeks after the heat start, so that would be 8.5 months. Is there any reason to wait at this point. I really really want to avoid a second heat! I have read that they usually come every 6 months, but can be as short as 3 months. What is the latest I could spay her to avoid a second heat, and is there any advantage to waiting?
2) Is she fully grown now? She is very small for a Toller, but so is her 20 month old sister.
