A. There are many reasons why a client may request to have their pet spayed during its heat cycle. Whatever the reason, it is possible to spay a pet when it is in heat. In some regards the surgery is easier. The ovaries and uterus typically are more engorged with more prominent blood vessels...in essence, its almost as if the tissues are yelling “here I am, take me out!” That being said, to minimize surgical complication risks, extra time is taken during an in-heat spay surgery. Consequently, due to this increased surgical time, there may be a small extra charge incurred for these patients.

That being said, these are small dogs and extra surgical time is probably not so good.
Most likely she will be out of heat before you go camping so you might just stick with your original plans.
Thanks Mojo... We are going to wait till she is done and keep the aug. 2nd appt.. I have another question...lol..

Is it normal for them to act "down" or "sad" ..Izzy just layes down kind of walks around then just layes back down...She did play with another yorkie (fixed male) today but when she's by herself she act depressed..She's not normally like that.
