in heat?

[sewmisskitty]

I don't agree. Wait 1 month at least until the end of her heat. If a dog is spayed during her heat, she loses a lot a blood. That can be very dangerous for such a tiny pup.

I did not mean that she should be spayed while still in season, only that she should be spayed 'as soon as you can '. Sorry for the confusion.
As for the high cost of spaying ... well its a fact of life. But a stitch in time saves nine. Hope it all works out.

thank you everyone. if i was the one who was paying for the spay, of course i would get her spayed. but it is not my decision, and i am tired of trying to convince my mom to get her spayed for 280 dollars. and that doesnt even count for any of the pain pills, testing, and some other things you should do before and after the spay. i will ask my mom soon to call the st. cloud humane society. shes sick right now, so i wont ask her until shes better. thanks again

The vets should still do the 'surgical' procedure though, shouldn't they?

Yes, calling the Humane Society is just to get a referral for vets they know who do a low-cost spay, or that have a payment program available.
