| First heat & spay? Hi there! Luna is almost 8 months old and scheduled to be spayed on 6/21. If she goes into heat before then will they still do the surgery? I guess what I'm really asking is if she is actively in heat can they still do it? Luna peed in the house today and when I cleaned it up there was a little blood in it. Her vulva seems about the same, maybe a tad bit swollen, but nothing major. I did wipe her and see a bit of brownish-red on the tissue paper. We took her to the vet today and she said if she starts trying to go out to pee all of the time it's probably a UTI but if not it's probably her going in to heat. Are there any other signs I should look for?

| They can spay her in heat but it can be a bit more dangerous and might cost more.

| Yes, it's more dangerous to spay while the dog is in heat--they bleed more, and there are more complications. When I did this with my Siberian Husky, the vet practically cussed me out.

| If your girl is going into heat now make sure you keep her away from all male dogs. A male dog can smell a female in heat up to 3 miles away. Heat cycle last appox. 3 weeks. One week coming into heat, one week in heat and one week to come out of heat. After she is finished with her heat cycle she can be spayed. Ask your vet how long after she is finished can she be spayed. I believe it's 2 weeks but ask your vet. Females should be spayed before first heat cycle which is usually at 6 months old. Please keep her on leash and away from male dogs, she is to young to have puppies.
