Betti,

Good Question!

In general complications from spay/neuter surgeries are rare (less than one in a thousand). The animal will die from complications of the surgery. Some possible scenarios that could arise resulting in death are bleeding, cardiac arrest, allergic reaction, infection, etc.

Following is a link to a consent form with the pertinant information.

Hope that helps :-)

Good luck,
