I saw in a previous post you need to get your dogs fixed...please look into the SPCA (if you haven't already)...because initially first I was gonna take Ms Pepper to her vet to get fix for $281 however my beautician told me the SPCA will do it for like $60 for small dogs...so I checked it out and they did provide this service and for Ms Pepper procedure I paid a total of $82 ($60 for the surgery, $12 for her meds, $10 for that collar thingy to keep her from getting to her stitches)...I was too excited about finding this info out because it saved me $200 bucks...it's worth a try...HTH!
