Why does she need to be at minimal hormonal level for the surgery? My
vet was going to do it on the 6th, with her still very much in
heat--is there a danger? I'm sure your experience with intact ferrets
is greater than my vet's, so if you think I should do a shot before
the surgery, or a shot and then postpone the surgery, please tell me.


**Personally, I'd simply go ahead and get her spayed. There is always a risk
with any surgery, but the (very slight) increase in risk from her being in
season at the time of surgery should not prohibit you going ahead and doing it.**
