We have a 10 1/2 month (born 7/17) female and a 3 1/2 month (born 2/17) male. We would like Willow to have one litter and have been told that the timing (space between them) is very good...A bit concerned here as we are not sure if Willow had a "silent"? first heat or not...We had Jake to the vet today for his 3rd set of shots and expressed our concerns regarding Willow's safety (as far as getting pregnant too soon) and were told not to worry as Jake will be "shooting blanks" until he is at least 8 mnths. Willow has been acting a little different the past couple of days and thank God for this sight as I read that we could wipe her with tissue and sure enough, there was a tiny spot of blood just now...which means she is either in her 1st or 2nd heat. Jake doesn't seem to show an interest, but we want to be sure (from pros such as yourselves) that he could not impregnate her as he is only 3.5 mnths. Sorry this is so long, but we would never want to put our baby in jeopardy.Thank you thank you!!
