The only way to end her heat cycle is to either have her spayed or to let her meet a boy, Unfortunately queens will stay in heat until they get covered by a tomcat, as they are triggered ovulators. There are no medications which will stop her heat. Best have Snowy spayed if you do not intend to breed her.
