| Someone help me calm my nerves!!! Okay, so i just want to make sure that what i believe is true....My 12 mts old not sprayed female baby was napping on my lap and when i removed her, there were wet spot all over my pants!!! I thought she peed on me or was leaking urine!!! but then i smelled it and it smelled like blood, but it was tinted orangish/brownish!!! Then i noticed that her crotch smells like a dying rat!!!! (aka period blood) Is she having her "period". I never had a female puppy before and im always paranoid thinking she's gonna die, lol. (a few days ago she had a tick on her and i rushed her to the emergency vet to remove it!!! I think the vet thought i was nuts!!!) Her privates are enlarged and she is humping her dog bed (though for the past 6 mts she has been humping it off and on) but i have never noticed discharge before until tonight!!! So let me know what it is...i was always told that dogs "bleed a lot" so when i think blood, i think bright red blood everywhere, not lil spots of browish/ orange discharge... thanks, coco's worried mommy |

| Yes, your baby is in heat. Be sure to keep her away from any males for the next 3 weeks. You can also get little diaper panties at Petsmart that you add little pads inside to keep it off the furniture, etc (like your pants)

I think you have to wait a couple of months after a dog's heat before you can have it spayed.

| why does my age matter??? And I'm scared to bring her to a vet because the last two vets i went to were not very intelligent!!! So I'm going to trust my boss's judgement and go to her vet, cause i guess they are "wonderful". i just worry because she's my baby and i love her bunches!!! |

As I understand though, the longer you wait on getting her spayed and the more heats she goes into, puts her at a higher risk for cancer.

No wonder our world is full hate with judgemental people like you!! And lets say I was very young, like 10 or 12, how do you think that comment would made them feel??? Not very good. I actually have a sense of humor, unlike you..so i'm sorry if i offended you in anyway. I was just trying to make humor out of her situation. And also considering it is 1 in the morning and just got done studying for two major exams I may sound crazy at the moment. The fact and the main point is, I was seeking help and instead of helping me, you critisized me by asking me how old I was. Anyway, enough rant and I thank everyone who was helpful to me!! Have a wonderful night!!! | |

Like I said before, I didn't mean to offend you and I was just asking a simple question, you wanted to know why I wanted to know your age and I told you. Just like you can't help how I take you, I can't help how you take me. I honestly just didn't think that the post was all that funny but to each their own. Oh and I was trying to help too, your post was just a little confusing, that's all. Have a great night!

And yes, you did insult my intelligence!!! My overall intelligences, wheather I was being humorous or not. By asking my age, thinking I was very VERY young, and thinking i was a "certain thing with colorful hair" And what if I did have colorful hair??? Would that make me a bad person?? An unintelligent person?? And yes, you did offer advice, only after your critizising comments...And i really shouldn't make such a big deal out of this, but you must realize wheather you are being mean or not, it hurts people's feelings!!! | |

| Don't be afraid to get your Yorkie spayed. Did you know that there are many benefits to getting her spayed like reducing her risk of cancer? Spay and Neuter Health Benefits ~ Pawprints and Purrs, Inc. If you had had her spayed before she ever had her first heat, her risk of cancer would have been zero. If you get her spayed before she has a second heat, her risk of cancer is still only 8%. If you wait until after she has her second heat, the risk rises to 25%. Make sure and get pre op bloodwork done before her spay to alert your vet to any conditions that might make anesthesia risky. If her bloodwork is good, she'll be fine. Complications from pregnancy is much riskier than spaying. Be very, very careful with her for the next few weeks. Males can smell a female in heat for miles away. They will be determined to get to her if there are any close. |

| lol...trolls...anyway...enough brickering....forget and forgive...As for Coco, I bought her a lovely pair of underwear. (which she is not liking and is pouting) After her heat cycle is over, I will immediatly schedule a vet appt to get her fixed. I was unaware that the risk of cancer goes up after each heat cycle!!! That is extremely scary!! I also read on here that nutro is BAD and I'm slowly switching her to Natural Balance duck and potato... (I read a lot reviews on here that it's a good food choice) She was on nutro chicken and rice the past 9 mts....the crazies at petsmart told me it was good for her!!!! I was horified to find out dogs actually died from eating nutro!!! So hopefully this natural balance works!!! |
