I picked right up on the fact that she might be in heat and we put her dog outside for our visit...
Is 6 months normally when they go into heat or is she still too young? |
She may be secreting a drainage but she is not old enough to breed until she is over 1 yr of age and it is said to be at her 2nd heat .
If she is you will see her licking herself and may notice a drainage it will change to a red in color and she may rub her self on the floor. It can get messy if you don't keep your eyes on her. I made a mistake with my girls first heat and let her climb under my blankets like she likes to do and she left spots every where. I bought little pants for her. She doesn't like to wear them but it helps or I put her in her crate and she hates that more.
