I would wait until after her heat cycle is done, which is almost a month long , then you have to wait at least 6 weeks after the heat is over to spay. The reason why is that all the Blood Vesels are still swollen, and if spayed now she would bleed more during surgery.

Oh also forgot to add, can you put panties on her? This will help keep the blood from getting on things.
