Is it to late to sterilized the dog ?

[steph83]

Hi, There is a soi dog living in front of my house. I would like to take her on 15 december (i can't before) to the vet to have her sterilized at a temple for free. Today, i saw her copulate. Is it too late for this surgery ?

 

Thanks for your advice

It's not too late, but make sure the vets at the temple know. Regardless of whether she has mated, if she is in season, there will be more blood flow to the uterus, so they need to be prepared. With street dogs, vets usually assume they could be in season anyway, so it probably doesn't matter, but it's still better to tell them.
