| late coming in heat??? has anyone experienced your females coming into heat very, very, late like 3-4 months late?? someone told me having a male around might help bring them into season, so I went and got my little stud--he usally stays at my friend's house until I need him and then he comes for a "visit" for a few days, now it seems like my 2 females are NEVER GOING TO COME INTO HEAT AGAIN !!! is there a shot the vet can give???? |

| my husband says there is a shot the vet can give them. he has been a breeder for over thirty years and should know but when I asked on here, no one had heard of it. i did call my vet and he confirmed what my husband said. What it is, is a hormone shot and he didn't recommend it but i was going to get Silk one if she did not come into heat by the first of July. That would have put her two or three months overdue her heat but she came in the middle of June and we are now having puppies in August. |

| The shots to delay or initiate estrus are bad news. You're messing with hormones and in my opinion you will only cause harm. You don't really give any details as to why you think they are late. How old are they, how many heats have they had, have they always been like clock work, like every 6 months? |

| More Info they both have had litters in the past and they were always a little late like a month; but this time they are very, very, late. Just wondering if this happen to others? I was expecting them to come into heat late, like always, but now it's getting to be worrisome. |

| if theyve recently whelped (within the last 6 months or so) a litter it can throw off the heat cycle and is not abnormal to extend it by a couple months.
