Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! As much as any surgery and anesthesia can be routine, a spay is a very common procedure. Complications are rare and we take every precaution to have successful outcomes. You vet wants everything to go well too! Spaying her is the best thing for her health! I wish Aubree the very best tomorrow!
