| Heat lasts for about 3 weeks. I wouldn't spay for about (at least) 4 weeks after. So I would wait at least 7 more weeks...or possibly a bit longer.

| Okay, the only female dog I've had was when I was REALLY little... so excues my ignorance... why do you have to wait to spay a female after her heat?

I'm so sorry, Dara311!! I know you're upset...hang in there! I'm sure the next 3 weeks won't be fun, but you'll get through them, then you can get it done. My vet told me that even though getting them spayed before their first heat reduces risk factors by a lot, getting them spayed before they are 4 yrs old still reduces those risks by a whole lot!! She'll be just fine!! | |

Senior Yorkie Talker | I'm sorry! I know exactly what you are going through!! Daisy came into heat 2 weeks ago and it has not been fun, but thankfully we only have about another week of it. I'm not sure the reason as to why they will not spay during heat, but I was told I had to wait until she got out. I have her scheduled now for November 20 which will be 5 weeks after she first went into heat. I used diapers even though she has now starting running & hiding when she sees me get them out. Daisy has actually slept a lot more too. I guess she doesn't feel the greatest. Good Luck & 3 weeks will go by quickly!!

Donating YT 30K Club Member | Roxie came into heat 3 days before her scheduled spay, then had a false pregnancy so we waited 8 weeks to get her spayed. She was more standoffish during her heat and a bit restless. Don't feel bad it happens a lot.

| Oh geez, this is making me nervous! Abby turned 9 months old on the 25th of Oct. and is scheduled to be spayed on Nov. 11...I'm so afraid she'll go into heat before then. I'm glad that I read this though, just incase it happens, because when I checked out they told me that it was more expensive to spay when they are in heat...not that they wouldn't do it. I would definetly wait if it happened after reading this. Quote:

| I feel so stupid that i didnt get her spayed when she turned 6 months old, and the only reason why I waited so long was because my vet told me to wait until the end of october, and i thought she would be fine.... They dont want to spay during the heat cycle because it is just a lot of blood, and just a messy process.... she is fast asleep now, more so than she was last night---she isnt dripping blood or anything...i just dont know if she was trying to get a flea *she still has a few crawling on her, and a lot of them are by her little area* and she might have just irritated it or what......is this bad that she will have her first heat, and then get spayed? when i was a vet tech, i never really dealt with this, so this is why its all new to me, sorry for my ignorance, and thanks for all your help!

| I am waiting until my winter break (I'm a student) for when we fly home to get Breyls spayed at her primary care vet. I talked with them and they said that it would be fine to wait that long (she is 7 1/2 mos now) because she is so tiny and likely won't have her first heat until she's closer to a year old. Now this thread has me worried and I'm considering perhaps bringing her to the vet I use here. You guys have me worried now. |

| Lexi had her first heat almost to the date of 6 mths old--it was easier then I thought.In fact never having a femal dog as a child I had no clue how to tell and my groomer was the one who actually told me-I felt stupid at the time but now I know. She was about 2 lbs when it happened and she didn't bleed a whole lot. Hang in there I was really worried too when it first happened but once your thru it you'll look back and think it wasn't soo bad.

Senior Yorkie Talker | Daisy was right at 9 months when she came in. My vet told me to wait until she was closer to a year also b/c of her size, but she definitely came in before a year!

Donating YT 30K Club Member | I had 3 that came into heat right at 8 months, one at a year, so it's hard to tell.
