Yes, I would recommend spaying Lacey Mae. It's the only way to stop the false pregnancies and prevent them from occurring again. In addition, spaying her will eliminate the chance of her developing a pyometra, which is a life threatening infection of the uterus. This affects middle aged and older dogs, and requires spaying to fix, only it's a much more complicated surgery due to the infection and as such costs a lot more. Spaying her is the best option. I hope this helps you :-)
