Hi everyone! First, I've missed you all over the last month that I haven't been very active. I was about to post some updates of the dogs and tell you all about our move, but first....HELP ME! Regina (she is 6 months 3 weeks old) went into HEAT!
I was supposed to have her spayed closer to one year old like the vet recommended. She told me that she had never seen a dog have their first cycle earlier than 8 months, but she thought Regina would be closer to 14 months when it happened. So that was back in DC, now we're in Florida and I have no vet here that I trust yet. The search begins now.....
Any advice or tips? I'm headed to The pet store now for diapers.... I had to make her sleep in the crate last night and she was not pleased. She likes to snuggle with us and Ruckus and I rarely crate her anyway.... So, also, Ruckus isn't neutered. He had pneumonia as a puppy and then I decided to let him grow to full maturity before deciding and once he got there he was so sweet and kind natured with no marking issues that a few vets recommended just not neutering him. He doesn't hump Regina, but in he last few weeks she has started humping him. He has been tying to lick and sniff her lady parts nonstop over the past few days. Looking back all the signs were there.....she peed in the house a few times, swollen vulva yesterday, the humping....
Does anyone think Ruckus could actually get his penis inserted given their stocky anatomy? I guess I should crate her to separate her and Ruckus when I'm not home. How long do you guys think her first cycle will last? Any cleanliness tips? And 7 months?!?! Isn't this insanely early? Has anyone else had this happen?!
Do you guys think I need to take her to a bet down here now or not necessary?
Thanks in advance. I'm mildly panicked....
