| Much livelier after Spay After Pita's 2nd heat ended in February she had just been layin around bein a couch potatoe but not sick or anything I just put it down to the fact that she was growing up. I got her fixed earlier this month, and I was worried cuz everyone says they get lazy AFTER the spay and i thought if she got any lazier she'd be in a coma! But in the last couple of weeks (She got fixed on the 6th) she has become so lively and playful like she was as a puppy, she's now 1 year and 8 months old. I am so glad I got the spay done, there must have been something with her hormones or lady parts that was bringin her down. Has anyone else experienced this?

I'm glad Pita handled her spay well Stewie is the same old boy, too. For only a day or two afterward, he was recovering from the surgery and a little wobbly when walking and sleepy.

| Glad Pita is doing so well. Polly was the same way, I waitied till she was over a year since she is small. She had one heat and after it she was so sad, she had a false pregnancy and just was so sad. After she got spay she is a little spit fire now, she give the other three a run for there toys and she is the smallest.

| Precious' Mommy, Like someone else posted, heat is a dog's menstrual cycle. The first heat is anywhere from 6 months to 18 months, the smaller the dog generally the younger the first heat. The vulva (female parts) swell and bleed slightly, you will notice small droplets on your carpet. They come up easily enough with cold water. After sleeping through the night, you will notice a larger amount where was lying, maybe 1/2 teaspoon if that much. At about 10 days the bleeding will change to a straw color and the female will be receptive to mating for the next week. It's all over with in about 3 weeks. If your dog is spayed, this will prevent her from every coming into heat so you don't have to deal with this at all. |

| I've always thought of it as the opposite of human periods whereas humans bleed when they aren't pregnant or fertile, dogs bleed when they are.
