Can my dog be spayed while in heat? What's the cost and timing?

Question

My dog has her period I want to operate her . Around how much would that cost and when is the earliest I could operate her ?

Jessica Keay, DVM · Accepted Answer

You will need to discuss with your veterinarian if they are willing to spay (I assume that is what you mean when you mention operating) her when she is in heat. Spaying a dog who is in heat is more complicated as there is an increased risk of bleeding, increased surgical time, and increased suture material requirements. For that reason sometimes the fee for spaying a dog in heat is higher. Some vets will also refuse to spay a dog in heat and will want you to wait until her heat is complete. You will have to discuss this with your personal vet, as we do not have access to their policy or prices.
