Kathy, I would never put her in harms way. I plan to have the bottle tested and to follow the advice of my vet. I also do not want to spay a very nice bitch if I do not have to either. Its easy to make a judgement call when its not you in the situation. I love every one of my dogs dearly and would never do something to cause them harm. My vet also would not put any of them in harms way either. Between him and his partner they have almost 70 yrs of experience.
