Id do it at 5, if they are younger it wont hurt them  ;D

In the states they do as young as 6 weeks!

I will definatly ask her again then she said if tiggy hasnt grown anything by then she would say that she is a girl and these little bits are just very dark tuffts of fur. I want to get them spayed asap to save any health problems, They wont be going out yet if ever but still getting them sapyed as soon as possible.  :thanks:

I would ask her when they go for their checkup in a fortnights time, and also what is the youngest she will do them from, my vet will do them as young as 4 months, and I think that is CP's current guidelines.

Understand what you mean :Crazy: The vet will have to be sure of their ages first before you decide :shify:

I would go off your vets advice due to their size - shadow was a month behind her age size wise, and was done bang on 6 months (and a week later, she would have been in season!!)

They are nearly 17 weeks old now but the vets think they may be as young as 13 weeks old,

I know that they can be spayed at 5 months but should i wait untill they are 6 months old just incase they are a month younger like the vet thinks they might be?

First of all the vet needs to decided if tiggy is a boy or a girl lol

They went for a little check up today due to pipins tummy still being slightly upset and when the vet looked at tiggy she thinks she might be a boy as it looks as though she has 2 little bits growing. Like the vet said she would of though they would of grown by now but theres no telling  :rofl:
