Hello , Two years and ten months ago jojo gave birth and I did not let her marry again since then because I neutered her male. Should I spayed jojo as soon as possible or can I wait?

Yes, spaying Jojo has significant health benefits such as eliminating the risk of uterine infections and uterine cancer. I recommend to get this done between her estrus cycles. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
