Cat is in heat. When can I get her fixed?

[dad_58@hotmail.]

My cat Brin just went into her first heat. It is driving me insane. I read that it could take about 3 to 7 days for her to finish. How long after her heat can I get her fixed? Urgent response please!

I believe you can get her fixed while in heat, but it might cost a bit more - you can maybe check with a vet on that one. I seem to remember being told that by my vet a few years ago when I took in a stray in heat.

Carina is right. You can spay a cat while in heat, but it may cost a more because the surgery is a bit more involved.

Call your vet and ask the price.

As you may know benefits of Spaying and Neutering include;


-They are less inclined to roam or fight.
-They are generally more affectionate.
-Male cats tend to stop spraying.
-Dog license fees are 1/2 the cost.
-Spayed/neutered pets do not get fat and lazy.
-Spaying and neutering can be done as early as four months of age.
-Your female dog or cat does not need to have "just one litter."
