Jagar: Good for you.
In the end by spaying her you'll also remove the chances of her getting reproductive cancers, pyometria, and a host of other such illnesses.
And consider neutering your male. You'd be surprised how many of them become escape artists when they smell a bitch in heat and suffer all kinds of costly and/or fatal injuries as a result.
It's refreshing to see someone take the information to heart.
We know our comments were fast, to the point, blunt...as fast as this thread was moving and as much info as we were trying to get to you as quickly as possible, the niceties sometimes have to be set aside in the best interest of those you're trying to help.
Good luck and please do hang around and keep us informed of how she's doing.
FYI...I was able to talk my vet down to $135.00. (I'm three hours away from you, though.)
You might try the same with a few in the Memphis area. Also, you might find that because of the situation some may be willing to work out payments with you. I know mine did in a desperate poisoning situation with mine.
...just another thought as towards the cost... :)

Wrong. Maturity definitely plays a big part.
I'd definitely find another vet.
