I'm starting to freak out and need some help!!! Our vet told us we needed to get Nahla spayed when she was 7 months old. She's 7 months old and over the weekend I noticed her licking herself....ALOT. Right now she is laying on the bed beside me and her pee-pee (vulva I think they call it) is really swollen!!!!

I have Mufasa who is my male yorkie. What do I do? I don't want Nahla having puppies and now that I think she is coming into heat is it too late to get her spayed? I'm going to call the vet first thing in the morning but I need some advice right now.

First: When is the "fertile" cycle of heat. If I just noticed her pee-pee swollen tonight could she possibly get pregnant NOW?

Second: Do I need to keep her and Mufasa away from each other? I have NO IDEA how to do that.

Third: Will the vet spay Nahla if she is already in heat?

MOST IMPORTANTLY: If the vet will spay her now because she is coming into heat will it hurt her? I don't want anything to happen to my precious baby and worry about her having surgery since she is already in heat (I think).

What do you guys think? HELP!
