Question
symptoms of female jack russell in heat. we just adopted this cute 10 month old and not sure of when we can have her fixed. we have had her only 1 month and have started her shots.

Answer
Hello Martha,
Have her spayed right now. Usually it's done between month 4-6, and first heat is usually around their first birthday but it can vary from dog to dog. You are safe to have her done right now - it's a good time. Congratulations on Lucy! That's one of my dogs names! I've no doubt she's adorable!
Good luck.
