Hi Shana~
The Vet that I work for will still perform the surgery. However, they prefer
to wait until they are finished with their heat cycle because of the increase
of blood while undergoing the procedure. I think someone else also mentioned
that. Therefore, If it were my dog, I would probably wait. You can always
call the Vet and ask what their suggestion is. People call us about this
situation all the time.
The optimal time to get your dog neutered or spayed is between 5 & 6 months
of age. For females, it should be done prior to their first heat cycle. Most
people think that it should be after, but that is a fallacy according to the
clinic that I have been working for. I have been guilty of waiting myself. In
fact, my female chi is a year old and still hasn't been spayed. It's like the
shoemaker's kid who has no shoes. She will be done very soon. All of my
males have been done early because I don't ever want to deal with the lifting
of their legs or the mounting. My mother was here with her un neutered 6 month
old shih-tzu and I couldn't keep him off my leg. It was not pleasant.
Good Luck!
