What in goodness's name am I supposed to do for a pet that's in heat - provide a male escort service?
If you're asking about spaying them, spaying an animal in heat is incredibly more complex and dangerous than waiting a week or so until they're out of heat. When an animal is in heat, the uterus is enlarged and inflamed, and the blood flow is more than doubled. So the surgery is messier, more complicated, involves a lot more blood loss, and a much higher risk of internal bleeding, plus a lot more postop pain and extended recovery.
Wait a week, keep her indoors, and keep her alive and healthy. Or, better yet, spay her before her first heat. :)
