Already Tried:
she has had a checkup at the vets aprox 2 wks ago. Constipated. Meds to correct. Next day back in heat. She was in heat when we took her in.

Accepted Answer

Yes it can be done, and very often is done to eliminate the chances of the cat getting pregnant.
It is a little more complicated surgery due to the enlarged blood vessels in the area.
Ask your vet about doing this and what the costs are to do that surgery.
Hope this helps you!
