I know 2 of the vets, here locally, charge $15.00 extra for spaying during heat, because of the increased size of the blood vessels during heat, that makes the surgery more work. I heard somewhere that it was better to get them spayed before there 1st heat, is that true? I thought u had to wait till after their 1st heat. My Penny turned 7 months old Apr 9 and I dread her being at the vets overnight to get her spayed. Mom has some seperation anxiety issues.....LOL

I do not know this for a fact....but I have heard that the pain is a little worse if it is done while the dog is in heat.......May not be anything to that, but to be safe, I would probably wait till she is out of heat.....It does make sense though if you compare it to PMS....I mean who wants to do ANYTHING during that time??? lol Marsha ----- Original Message -----

    I have a 8 mo old female chi . She started her first heat about 4
    days
    ago . I am going to take her to get spayed on wed . I was
    wondering if
    I could get some opinions about getting her done . I have never
    had the
    joy of having a chi . So I have never had to deal with the hole vet
    thing . Thank you in advance .
