Joan, If you have a neutered male, he is going to be of no use in bringing your Jill out of heat. He doesn't have the equipment to do it. What you need is called a V-Hob. That mean all that has been done is a vasectomy, so he can't produce babies. Your best bet is to get her to the vet now. He can give her a hormone injection that will bring her out of heat. It is very important that this be done or you will loose her. She will develop aplastic anemia and it is almost always fatal for the Jill. After she is out of heat, I would then get her spayed. Good luck and please keep us posted as to how she is doing.
