Can a female dog be neutered when she is in heat?

sure. Female dogs can be spayed while in heat, which is a common pet surgery designed to prevent pets from going into heat and solve some health problems related to the reproductive system. During estrus, female dogs’ hormone levels fluctuate greatly. During this period, the dog may exhibit behaviors such as irritability, loss of appetite, and frequent urination. Neutering can eliminate these discomforts and improve your dog's quality of life.

2. Prevention of vaginitis

Neuteration surgery can avoid the occurrence of vaginitis, which is a common disease in unneutered female dogs. Vaginitis may cause symptoms such as fever, loss of appetite, and abdominal pain. It is recommended to take your dog to a regular pet hospital for examination and treatment in time.

3. Reduce behavioral problems

Sterilization surgery can help reduce some behavioral problems related to fertility, such as excessive excitement and aggressive behavior.

4. Avoid unwanted pregnancy

Neutering can eliminate the possibility of unwanted pregnancy in bitches and avoid the trouble and responsibility caused by the bitch’s behavior.

Before performing spay/neuter surgery, please ensure that the female dog is mature and consult your pet veterinarian about the best time for the surgery. Before the operation, the pet doctor will conduct a comprehensive physical examination for the dog to ensure that its health condition meets the requirements of the operation. It is necessary to fast and drink nothing in advance. Anti-inflammatory drugs need to be used on time after sterilization surgery to avoid wound infection. Your pet doctor will provide you with detailed care advice to ensure your dog recovers as quickly as possible. Before deciding to undergo surgery, please fully communicate with your pet's doctor to understand relevant information and develop an appropriate care plan for your dog.
