My OES is in heat again. Its only been 5 months

My oes is heat again. Its only been 5 months since the last one and this is her 3rd heat. Is this a normal thing? How long should a heat last? We were going to have her spayed but now we have to wait again.

Yeah, it fits within the parameters....which are pretty broad: every 4 to 14 months. Congratualtions...... :wink:
Most are on pretty set schedule, some not. Mine don't have their first heat till they're about a year old. Then it takes a few cycles till they're steady at every six months on the dot. Lasts anywhere from 14 to I think my record here is 24 days.

In order to spay her, if it was me I'd wait about 12 weeks from when she came in to season. That should put you safely on the side of catching her before she goes in again, yet give her body some time to come off of that hormone high ;-)

How old is she?
