What happens if a pregnant pet receives a spay?

The anesthesia used during a spay procedure terminates any ongoing pregnancies. TCAP does not have the diagnostic equipment to test to see if a female patient has an ongoing pregnancy prior to administering anesthesia. If you suspect that a pet is pregnant and do not wish to terminate the pregnancy, we advise you to wait until the puppies/ kittens are born, weaned off the mother’s milk, and the mother’s milk is dry before coming in for a spay procedure.
