My dog already got her menstruation once ..is it too late to spay her??

Answer 1

no but u most be sure that she is totally off her cycle/and out of heat before u have the procedure done

Answer 2

Nope, never too late.
We have greyhounds and if you consider that most of them don't get adopted until they are 3 to 5 years old (at which point they are spayed or neutered), then your dog is probably still very young.
Spaying is great. You won't have to worry about raising several pups or giving them away. Plus the menstruation and probably a lot of aggression (sorry, we have two males, I have no experience with females) will dissipate.

Answer 3

No, it is not too late. For maximum benefits they should be spayed before their first heat but she would still benefit form it. WHEN TO SPAY: There is firm medical research indicating that if a dog spay surgery is performed before the dog's first estrus cycle (heat) the chances for developing mammary gland cancer later in life is nearly zero. (See a surgery to remove a mammary cancer here.) If a dog goes through one heat cycle and then is spayed, the chances of mammary cancer later in life are slightly reduced. And if a dog has three or more estrus cycles and then is spayed there is no protective influence against developing mammary cancer. In addition, any dog that is spayed will have no chance of developing a potentially fatal uterus infection called Pyometra. Many veterinarians recommend spaying dogs at about six months of age, which is generally prior to a dog's first heat cycle. Some veterinarians will suggest that the surgery be done at four or five months of age. Be sure to have a discussion with your veterinarian about the "whens" and "whys" of spaying. There is no particularly convincing reason to let a dog "have one heat cycle" or "just one litter" prior to spaying.

Answer 4

No it is never too late and you should not let her have a litter first and it is not necessary for females to have a heat cycle first!!!!!

Imagine if every dog had even one litter!!!!!!!!!! That would really help with the overpopulation issue!!!!!!!! With each heat cycle she goes through, she has a higher risk of developing breast cancer later in life. Also she has a greater chance of getting a pyometria, where her uterus fills with pus. That is an emergency and require immediate surgery to spay the dog. It costs a lot too!!!
Please do the right thing!!!!!!!!

Answer 5

No in fact in my opinion from my research I think it's better for a dog to have one season before being spayed. About 2-3 weeks after her last day take her in and get her spayed.

Answer 6

no you can get her fixed at any time, but I've been told that it costs a little more after shes gotten her period/menstruation/whatever you want to call it. that may or may not be true, a friend of a friend told me that when I was talking about the new female puppy I got. when we went to the vet they said that we could get her spayed any time we wanted (she was about 8 months old when we took her) so I suppose any age after that (possibly before im not sure) is ok

Answer 7

Perfect time! All females should go through one heat before spaying them helps with temperment. Great job in deciding to spay your pup!!

Answer 8

barring what the vets on the board say having raised many dogs as soon as the pup is large enough to come through the surgery you can have it done. before or after period or litter it DOES NOT change their personality. the concern check with a vet it is the ability of the dog to survey the surgery.

Answer 9

It will not cost anymore weather she has had a cycle or 5 or none it is still the same cost If cost is and issue call your local shelter they usually have some kind of program or like our has a vet that does it for 20 if you get a referal from them

Answer 10

NO! Make an app't TOMORROW!

Though dogs do NOT menstruate,they come into estrus.
