Yes technically you can have your dog spayed while she is in heat, however it is better to wait until you dog is out of heat because there is an increased risk of complication. If you do spay your dog while she is in heat you need to make sure to keep her away from intact male dogs for 5 to 8 days after the surgery because while it is impossible for a dog to become pregnant after being spayed she will still be producing reproductive hormones and if a male dog attempts to mate her you risk the stitches being pulled. Your best be would be to discuss this with your vet and see what they recommend.

∙ 15y agoAbsolutely. For her sake, keep in mind that, since she's had a heat cycle, her blood vessels, uterine muscles, and the ligaments attached to the uterine horns will be better developed than those in a younger puppy. This often means greater pain than in a younger puppy, and a slightly longer recovery time. Be sure to talk with her Vet about appropriate pain and inflammation control measures.

Why can't you spay a dog that's in heat?
Actually, it is possible for a veterinarian to spay a dog that's in heat, but the risk of surgical complication goes up dramatically and the surgery is much more challenging. This is because the blood supply to the ovaries and uterus is vastly increased during the dog's heat cycle, which increases the risk of excessive blood loss and makes ligating the vessels much more challenging. Most private practitioner will choose to wait out the heat cycle and spay a week or so later, when the blood vessels are smaller and the surgery is easier. This is also better for your dog.
What happens if we spay the dog while infected with ringworm?
It's dangerous - treat the ringworm first.
Is it safe to alter a kitten in their first heat?
This soley depends on the vet. Some vets will spay a cat while in heat, while others will not, due to the increased chance of the cat bleeding out during the procedure. It is best to spay the kitten before its first heat to decrease the chance of unwanted spraying.
Does separating the female cat from the male cat bring her out of heat faster?
No it does not. Basically the female cat will stay in heat until she is bred and pregnant. That is why you need to spay her as soon as possible. Other animals such as the dog have a set length of time for their heat cycle such as 2-3 weeks and then they are out of heat but a cat when she comes into heat, stays in heat until she is pregnant. Spay her! Good luck.
Can you spay your dog while its menstrating?
