From what I know, when I asked the vet, he said there is no problem with spaying during heat... I was told that by another guy from the neighborhood, that spayed his dog while she was in heat... Good luck!!!

My Chloe is going under the knife in October (hopefully before her first heat - I don't even want that mess)...

I would wait until Chloe is out of heat. I thought Amber was done with her heat when I got her fixed but it was just that the bleeding had stopped. She was still in heat when they opened her up for the surgery. The vet called me to tell me that they could still do the procedure, but there would be an extra cost involved as well as some extra risk (he said very minor and he'd never seen a problem, so we went ahead with it). Fortunately, all worked out fine with my girl and I don't regret it. I just would have waited had I known to avoid the extra risk (as well as the extra $50!).
