she suppose to have the operation,is that right?
Answers:
You can't spay a dog in heat. It's not safe and all the hormones need to leave her body so if you do that while she's in heat you'll not be doing her a favour.
Wait until she's out of heat, then get her spayed.
Spaying is so important and I'm glad that you are being a responsible pet owner!
yes, you can get some tablets to give her while shes on heat, to mask the smell and not make her attractive to males
Your dog will have to wait a few months after her season has finished as well, it happened to my sisters dog and she had to wait a couple of months before the vet would spay her, your vet will tell you how long you will have to wait.
you must wait now till she is out of heat,,, keep her away from ALL dogs,,,, it is much riskier to spay her when she is in heat,,
A vet refused to spay your dog because she was in heat? Find another vet! Any vet with experience can do a spay while a dog is in heat. It's just more detailed (lots of swelling, more blood) and may cost you a bit more.
Ok people! I didn't say it wasn't dangerous!
It's dangerous to spay a dog while they are in heat cos all the blood vessels around the stomach become dilated and the dog could lose a lot of blood during surgery. Have to wait two weeks after the end of the heat.
Yes, you will have to wait 3 months after her season.
It is dangerous to spay a dog on heat. Very difficult operation and i understand that most vets will be reluctant to do this. You will have to wait. Ask your vet how long. It's great that you are planning to neuter though! Just a little longer to wait and look after your b while she is in heat. On the lead and in your sight at all times.
you can spay a dog in heat it is more expensive and riskier but it can be done. if you have to wait it is not all bad heats last less than a month so you can reset the appointment , keep her inside unless walking her and just be careful to keep her close to home male dogs can get aggressive around females in heat
Spaying during heat is much riskier than when she isn't in heat. Your vet may not be covered (insurance wise) to do that risky of a surgery. Right now, you will just have to wait about 3 weeks and then reschedule. In the mean time, keep her away from any unaltered males. And, if you are concerned about the mess she will make, you can get her some "prissy pants" to hold you over for the next few weeks. Prissy pants are basically like doggie diapers. You have to take them off for her to go potty, but they will stop her from dripping blood everywhere. Good luck.
Most vets will spay a dog in heat, although it's more dangerous for the dog, and almost always cost more than if you wait until they're not in heat. For the sake of your dog, and your wallet, let me suggest waiting for a few weeks! While I'm sure it's frustrating, be glad you didn't get into a situation like a friend of mine. They told her the dog WASN'T in heat, but then started the operation and called her AFTER they started to tell her it was going to cost her about another $100 because the dog WAS in heat!
Just wait until she is done. Keep her in her cage or put up so she does not get pregnant. If she breeds the vet will still spay her but will charge slightly more, unless you do it right away. It seems cruel I know. I don't know if I could do it, but unwanted puppies suffer so much, here in my town people bring home puppies and then they throw them out for doing what puppies just do naturally. They end up run over, or dying of starvation. People here shoot dogs. I take the ones I can catch to a no kill shelter. I know I am getting off subject a little here, but from experience I don't want people going off on me because I mentioned that the vet will spay pregnant dogs. I love animals more than most people, I have seven dogs, but only actually bought two, the rest are stray dogs I fell in love with. Good Luck,

When a dog is in heat, the blood flow to the uterus is VERY increased. The uterus is more likely to tear and cause complications.This makes the operation much more risky for the dog.Some Vets charge extra and others don't want to risk a hemorrhage and will delay the surgery until she is finished (about 3 weeks). Your Veterinarian is only looking out for your dogs best interest. Keep her confined indoors unless you are with her ( the urge to breed is extremely strong, fences won't stop some dogs!)and re-schedule for next month.
Yes, of course it's right. It is far more dangerous for your b1tch as she could haemorrhage. If she normally comes into season every 6 months, book her in for 12 weeks from now. It won't do her any harm to have a season, she will have more chance to mature both physically %26 mentally and less chance of becoming incontinent as a result of early spaying.
A dog can be spayed when she is in heat. Its just more dangerous, and also more expensive. Wait until her heat cycle is over and then have her spayed.
It is harder and more dangerous to spay a ***** or queen when they are in heat. There is a much higher chance of complications that could lead to death.
I know it's annoying and a pain to wait, but be glad that your vet wouldn't spay while in heat. The health of your dog is the most important thing. Your vet is ethical and doesn't want to chance added complications of spaying an animal in heat. that could be fatal to your beloved pet.
One of my cats came into heat just before the spay and I had to wait. Boy was it annoying to deal with a heat, but I understood my vet had the animals best interest in mind.

Your dog will be in heat only once , sometime twice a year for a week only. roughly in July and sometime in January, You do not have to get her spayed but you will have to keep her lock up for one week to 10 days.
Your dog will be receptive , meaning , can get pregnant for 3 to 4 days only , and that 3 days after she stop loosing blood.
If you lock her up at her period for about 10 days, you'll never be Grand Father O/K ? It is not a very big inconvenient, but up to you....
Yup.. It's harder surgery and it's more risky.. Most vets won't spay a female in heat.
It is right that they turned you away when a ***** is in season there are a lot more hormones in her body and her womb is enlarged which means the blood vessels are a lot bigger if they did try and spay her it is a great risk to the ***** as everything is enlarged therefor a usual straightforward operation could turn out to be really complicated and so much risky ie you could loose her You have to wait at last 3 months befor you can get her spayed or at least this is what most vets would recommend.
Yup, very correct..you will need to reschedule for her at least 30 days after her heat ends. During a heat cycle the reproductive organs are engorged with blood and it makes spay surgery a lot more risky to your dog this is why most vets will not spay during a heat cycle unless it is an emergency.
Most vet prefer not to spay a dog in season, the risk of bleeding and surgical complications is far higher,, and also it does make the procedure longer and more expensive for the owner.. So best recommendation is wait..
It is a bit of a pain for you,, Keep he under strict observation for the next 4 WEEKS.. even if you think she is out of heat... this means no outside time without observation.. and also good idea if you want to take her for a walk.. put her in the car drive somewhere and go,,, Vs walking from your house and back.. or you WILL have wondering boys visiting because they will follow her sent trail to your home..
There are tablets, that can help.. But they really only help a little and honestly not worth the bother or expense.. the big key is where she walks, urinates, and such will leave a sent marker.. so try to avoid spreading it around.. it is kind of a false hood that dogs "air" sent females,, for miles,, they often find your girl either wandering into the area,, or follow where she has been walked.. so unless you have strays or walk her everwhere to and from your house you can keep virture safe for the month and not be bothered too much.. if a dog happens to be on your property,, either call the owner ASAP and rewquest they restrain their dog,, or call the local animal control to take the dog away..if a accidental breeding takes place on your poperty... get the owner of that male to pay the additional expense to get her spayed ASAP.
Good luck your vet had your dogs best intrest in mind,, if you honesly do not think you can prevent her from getting bred,, then yes have her spayed now,, but overall it is VERY simple to avoid it with a few changes in routien..

Yes, the Vet could do the operation but it would be far more dangerous and complicated for him and your pet. As the procedure would take longer, the animal would need to be under anaesthesia longer, and he'd need extra assistance during the op! He's actually saving you money and lowering the risk to her, so take his advice and keep her confined or supervised for the length of her heat + a week. She may try to escape so make sure your garden is secure and that you stay with her then. If you can take her somewhere where she won't meet other dogs do so but try not to walk her from the house as this will lead any neighbouring males to your door! The Vet will tell you how long you need to wait before the spay can be done!
Good luck and it's great that you are being responsible and having her spayed. As a 'rescuer' I wish more people would do it!
I didn't know that, but well done you for doing the right thing.
You'll just have to be careful with her for a while. Although it is possible to spay a pregnant female dog it isn't a very nice idea.
Yes, your vet is CORRECT. Your dog cannot be spayed until at least 8 weeks after her season has finished. I wouldn't tolerate a vet who would perform this surgery whilst my dog was in season.
