| oh my god, Im worried sick!! My Gracies is in heat! For her first time...... and I left her and Bailey in the bathroom together today while I was working. Heres my story..... Well, we thought she was already, but was never for certain, because the 2 males (Chihuahua *Harley & Yorkshire *Bailey) dogs we have in the house were sniffing, Harley* (2 yrs old) growling at Bailey (8 mths old) , etc. Just the signs you see when a female goes into heat, well we thought she was over it. Because they seemed to stop the bickering.... Well that lasted not too long... Well is there a certain thing to tell us when she is "ABOUT" to go into heat? Because we was never really certain 100%, but now, I know that today she is!!! Her area is swollen, bleeding, and my male Yorkie Bailey is trying to get on her, in the past, he never did that a bit. We just assumed he was a puppy still and didn't understand what was going on. Well, tonight, as Im on the puter... I hear Bailey defending himself (which I thought was Harley) , I bring him (bailey) in my office and find out, hes not defending from harley, hes trying to get on my gracie, and she is getting mad about it. I was shocked to see my baby boy trying something we thought he had no clue what he was doing... Well, I pick her up and seen her doing that below, and no before that was not going on... Well, she is locked up now... But it may be too late. What can I do?? Please help me!!!! Thanks, Jessica

| Take her to the vet. He'll tell you what he can do. Then I would have her spayed.

| They can be very young and catch on as to what to do. Since she was bleeding she is not yet in the part of her cycle where she will accept him which is why she was growling and getting mad at him. Keep them seperated from now on, especially the next couple of weeks. If you are not breeding her then get her spayed right away. Keep a close eye on them, when she is in the part of her cycle where she would accept him, they will try everything to get together so you are going to have to keep them in seperate rooms and keep a very close eye on them!!

I was planning on breeding her, but not this young. I am planning on doing so after she goes into her 2nd heat. Not her first. So Im just relieved to hear that she is just at the beginning of this. And she probably hasn't allowed him to do this to her yet. They are separated now. Thanks!
