Georgia finished her heat April 5(started around the 13 March). When would be the best time to get her spayed. The vet suggested 3 weeks from then. Her nipples are still very enlarged right now.

I would do as the Vet suggests

I'm in the same boat. Bella just finished her heat after a false pregnancy and I'm going to wait a few weeks to get her spayed.

I've heard anywhere

From a few weeks to a few months (as long as 3 months). The whole idea is to allow the hormone levels to settle down. Since heat cycles usually occur about every 6 months, you have some wiggle room.
My vet recommended 6-8 weeks after her heat cycle for Kano.

For what it is worth, my Vet suggests waiting 2 months.
