m575 Posted October 29, 2006 Author Share Posted October 29, 2006 er..ill go check in a sec...how long does it last? how often? will this make spaying harder? will she bring her sister into season? will there be lotsa blood? :'( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She may throw her sister into heat I dont think you can spay her while shes in heat you will have to wait till after As for the blood...depends on the dog.

Dog_Horse_Girl Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Oh, please get your bitch/es to a vet so you can determine if either/both are in season. Someone needs to explain this to you, and teach you what to do so your females aren't at risk of becoming pregnant. And I'd be hoping for a spey sooner rather than later...it's technically *possible* during a heat cycle, but far too risky for most vets to contemplate.

Livi Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Is your ticker out of whack ? Is that your pups who it says are 3months 1 week old ? I don't know but I would think even 4mths very young for a first season ? Be interested to hear if she is in season, I always thought 6mths was the earliest that could happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be interested to hear if she is in season, I always thought 6mths was the earliest that could happen 4mos is not to early. Yes in most cases it is early but it does happen...my mastiff came in at 4mos. 6mos is the common age for small breeds to come in but even my sibe came in around 6mos rather than a yr.

It only matters if she is in heat when you want her desexed. Best option to get her spayed at 6 months!!! The sooner the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogsfevr Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Check here privates with atissue but for health reasons take her to the vet. She could be in season but she also could have a UTI . Personally i wouldnt spay a bitch in season,there are more risks,it costs more & i believe hormolly its harder on the bitch. If she is in season she could very well bring the other one in so you can either wait or get her spayed depending on what the vet visit results in. Go to the vets & it will be all sorted ,they can do a swab & now straight away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

♪♫LMBC♫♪ Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 I just love it when people desex their dogs. I don't mean to sound lame, but there are a surprisingly large number of people who just don't think they need to. Congratulations on your responsible attitude.

m575 Posted November 17, 2006 Author Share Posted November 17, 2006 well, thought I'd update....yeah, if you're not planning on breeding, I don't see the point of going through all the trouble of not desexing. So yeah, she seems fine now :S no blood or anything, maybe it was just two fights in a row, although that doesnt explain the smell :S but yeah...

Muttaburra Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Wow, can't believe the pups are growing up so quickly. Just a word of caution, please be very vigilant between now and when you plan to desex them. Firstly a bitch on heat will likely encourage males to the area, they can scent the pherermones. Secondly, JRTs are escape artists at the best of times, so can you imagine having 2 JRT bitches on heat at the same time, both wanting to escape and find a mate! Would love to see some photos!
