Yeah, I had heard that as well...I think there's some debate about the
issue which, I believe, comes down to how confident the surgeon is with
performing a spay on a female in heat...perhaps something to do with
blood vessels (associated with the uterus/ovaries) being enlarged and
the risk associated with nicking one of those vessels, or something to
that effect...I'm not entirely sure. But Lola was certainly in heat,
and I even mentioned this to the vet the day of the surgery having heard
that a cat in heat shouldn't be spayed...but my vet didn't even bat an
eye...and Lola came through with flying colors! :)
