| Spaying? Hi, I keep forgetting to ask the vet this, but around what time do yorkies go into heat? I really hate the thought of having to get her spayed, do they handle it ok? She seems too little and delicate to have surgery. Oh, by the way, she's 6 months. |

| She could go into heat at any time now. I just got my little girl spayed last week & she's 6 months old. She did great!

| Thank you for your super quick reply! I can't believe it could be any day now! Such a big surgery for a little puppy. |

| The breeder I got my Yorkie from and my vet both said to get my baby spayed at 6 months (one more month to go). They go into heat at around 6 months and it is best to get them spayed before their first heat. |

| I JUST got Baby spayed on Thursday. She looked pitiful when she came home, but she's doing great!! She still has staples in now, but will be removed in a week or so. She's back to her old self now. She still is wearing a collar so she doesn't lick the wounds. Good luck! Oh, BTW, Baby is six months old and didn't go into heat before she was spayed.

Your welcome! They are tough little guys & do very well! I just made sure & get the pre-op blood work done before the surgery & that made me feel so much better.

| Every particular female is different. She could come into heat any time now or she could be one who doesn't come in until later like 9 months or even a year. |

| What would the blood work be for? Also do you guys know if it's just as good to get her spayed at the humane society? They charge half of what the vet does, and I keep wondering if they take more care at the vet to make sure she's comfortable, or if they just hike up the price because they can? Thanks for all the info. |
