Doctor Melanie. Remember when I talked to mum about spaying our Maltese? She changed her mind now and doesn't want to do it. What am I should I do?

Yes, I do remember! I'm sorry your mum changed her mind, but you have to respect that she doesn't want to do it. You can try to revisit the issue at a later time, discussing again the many health benefits for having it done, but you can't make her do something she doesn't want to do. I would give her some time and space from the issue for now, and talk about it with her again at a later date.
