    she will not need any more vaccinations til 12 months after the puppy vaccinations. you will need to continue flea/mite and worm treatment throughout the year. your vaccination card will be able to tell you the exact date of when she is due or if you have lost this your veterinary centre will be able to inform you. Spaying can be from 6 months of age, however it is recommended to let large breed dogs such as lilly have a first season as there is some evidence of incontinence with neutered bitches that are neutered before first season later in life. however there is only a little evidence of this. first season will be between 6 and 18 months for large breeds, during the season you will need to keep lilly on the lead and away from entire males to stop unwanted pregnancies. spaying is a routine operation and she will be bright and bouncing around within 24-48 hours after the operation.
