| Litte Lulu Belle became a woman today... ...she went into her first "heat". She will be 7 months in 3 days...in all my reading here, it seems that is the avg age. I wouldn' have really known but I had been holding and rocking her at the computer, gave her to hubby to go to the restroom and when I looked in my bathroom mirror there was a good sized stain on my t-shirt. Sent hubby out to get some baby diapers to wear while we're loving on her. I was really hoping to up her weight a bit and get her spayed soon but looks like it'll have to wait for a while. Any other advice? I've never really had to deal with this as an adult...our retriever/ lab spends most of her time outside so we didn't have a prob with her spotting on the furn, etc. ETA: typing with one hand is not my strong "suit"...^little lulu belle

| How much does she weigh now? I would really encourage you to get her spayed after she finishes her heat cycle. You can still greatly decrease her chance of ever getting mammary cancer. Had she been spayed before she ever had a heat cycle, you would have eliminated her risk, but spaying after the first cycle still keeps the risk low, about 8%. If you wait until after her second heat cycle, her risk jumps to 25%. |
