How soon can you spay

[slavetoabunny]

I am working with a rescue here that just took in 7 Netherland Dwarfs - 1 male and 2 female adults and 4 babies. I am going to have the male neutered and the one female spayed right away, but was wondering how long we need to wait for mama. The babies are two weeks old. Is it safe to spay mama as soon as the babies are weaned.

I would advise that once the babies are weaned, give her about a week to have her milk dry up and then spay her.

When I fostered, I would send the mom in to get spayed when the baby boys where ready to be neutered. But that is a little bit longer than needed.
