Hi there. This is ultimately up to the veterinarian who is doing the surgery, so I would suggest asking for their thoughts to see if this would be an option or not. For me personally, I wouldn't have a problem doing both procedures at the same time in a dog this age, since the spay should be fairly quick and simple.
