Ok, so Sophie, David's dad's dog (Art and Bears mom), is FINALLY going to be spayed! Hooray for that. :hail::hail:
David was going to spay her when we first started going out but he didn't have the money and had to decide between her or Bear, and concsidering Sophie went into heat, so we couldn't spay her anyways at that point and his dad was bugging him to bring her back he chose Bear.
But we have Sophie yet again and he is determined not to let her back down there without being spayed! Poor girl has had a litter EVERY SINGLE heat she's ever had except one (when she was with David that one heat). They are the type who don't really believe in spaying/neutering animals. Plus they let her roam around wherever she wants so that's how she got preggos every time. *sigh*
Poor Sophie is only 5 yrs old (approximately) and looks like she is 9!
She absolutely will get spayed before she goes back, David feels so bad for her, but we have a problem. She is in heat again we think. There's a small minuscule possibility she could already be pregnant (probably not!, but she started her heat down at his Dad's house so possibly).
My question is, as long as she is not pregnant, how long after her heat can we spay her? and how long does the heat last?
(I've never owned a female dog myself, and never one that wasn't spayed.)
