1. Can you spay a dog while she is menstruating?

Yes, it is possible to spay a dog during her menstrual cycle; however, most veterinarians prefer that the procedure be done after the bleeding has stopped. During this time, it's more difficult for them to see any potential issues that may arise during surgery so waiting usually makes things easier for everyone involved.

Luckily, no! The level of pain post-surgery will not be increased by operating on your furry friend in this state.

No, surgical operation times generally remain unchanged regardless of whether your furry friend is currently experiencing their period
