The answer is yes she can still be spayed... If the babies are old enough (which they won't be in 2 weeks) they will give you the option to keep them. If not, they will be humanely euthanized.
I guess try to keep her in and hope that she doesn't get pregnant!
Good luck!

It's advisable to wait at least a month afer the heat before getting her spayed so this will give you time to save up. Be sure to get the vet you're taking her to to quote you a price.
Your only problem at the moment is your brother letting her out - give him a slap! (or a stern talking to). Tell him if she gets pregnant, he's paying for the puppies' food and shots, that should make him think!
She can be spayed if she's in the early stages of pregnancy although it's not ideal. After a certain amount of time it will be considered a caesarean, which is an emergency procedure that a vet won't do unless there's a problem with the birth. Like I said, best bet is to sort your brother out!

Its been said but she can be fixed after her heat is over this cycle and vets are capable (but not always willing) to fix if she were pregnant. Best to avoid the possibility and keep her in when you can but get her a some doggy diapers if she is being let out. They wont prevent her from getting pregnant but it can help to deter it.
Call the animal shelter and ask about spay and neuter clinics. My area has them all of the time and the cost is much lower than the regular vet. Also depending on the breed you might be able to have it done for free. My dog is part pit bull and I was able to get her spayed for free in my area since there are too many of her breed being abused and abandoned. This works if your dog is part of any 'bully breed', rott, etc.

Vets suggest getting dog fixed before first heat cycle. However, if you cannot do this then you are going to have to wait. If she has puppies, you can still have her fixed after they are finished nursing and have been weaned.
Most vets charge a certain amount if dog weighs under 22 lbs. my 4 month old female Shepard weighed 27 lbs and I wound up paying about $200.
Contact your local humane society as they can find you a low-cost clinic in your area. Get her fixed. There are too many unwanted puppies in the shelters.

No, because a spayed dog is a female. If you mean a neutered male, I believe in the first week or so they can still impregnate a female who isn't spayed. After that, they should be safe.

Yes, she can still be fixed, but if she does get pregnant , the farther along she gets, alot of vets will not fix her. You should probably wait for the heat cycle ot be over to spay her anyway. Yell at that brother to keep her inside... Why dont you lock him outside??? Hahahahahah :)

Yes she can still be fixed, but it is considered a complication and many vets charge extra.
Tell your brother that he will have to pay for the surgery if he lets her out, again. Two weeks isn't that long to have to keep a dog inside.

Yes, she can still be spayed, the sooner the better. Why not call your vet and make the appointment for 2 weeks from now?

Your ***** cannot be spayed while she is in heat. Some vets will spay her while pregnant and abort the pups. Others will not. Tell you brother to stop letting her outside!

Yes, she can still be fixed when in heat and if she is pregnant. It might cost you a bit more though.
