Can she be fixed during this time?

Dogs are different from each other, just as humans are. Generally, you can expect at least two weeks of heat cycle, (if not three) every time your female goes into heat.
And yes, you can have her spayed at this time. It makes no difference to the Vet. They are trained to handle the increased risk in a professional way. Of course, it will cost more.
What you should be prepared for is any aberrant spraying behaviour she may have developed. Female dogs will leave scent trails on everything, trying to attract a male dog. They do this by spraying their urine in a wide pattern. If your female dog has already begun this type of behaviour, then getting her spayed may not correct it.

Its not the best time to fix her... its harder for the vet, usually costs you more, and a bit more risky for the dog. Its best to let her go out of heat for a good month before scheduling surgery. Heat will last for 2-3 weeks. I rely mainly on the swelling of the vulva to tell me when she is going out of heat... irregardless of the type of discharge or number of days its been. As a vet, I'd rather spay her 2 weeks pregnant than in heat.

You cant have a dog fixxed while its in heat. It can last for 2 weeks to a month. Its a real bummer. Better watch it like a hawk when it is out side for you will have every male dog within a 1 mile area comming to your home to "hook up". If you dont want to breed her, better get her fixed as soon as she goes out of heat!!!

yes she can and the female is in heat for three weeks. the spaying should be done as soon as she goes out of heat. It can be done even if she happens to get breed. yes spaying during her heat can cost more and she will have to stay at the vets longer.

3 weeks,, call the vet and scedule the spaying so you will not have to deal with this - spay her before the heat or right after - not during,,, and do no let her out of your sight during this time - even for 5 minutes

2 1/2 - 3 weeks. Make the appointment now, depending on your vet, there could be a 2-3 week lead time on getting her in to be spayed.
Thanks for having her spayed!

Most dogs are usually in heat for 3weeks and I have been told by my vet that you can get them fixed while in heat but he doesn't recommend it. He says it's riskier and more difficult because their blood is thinner.

About 2 weeks. I think it can be done but there is more risk and it will probably be more expensive. I would wait.
