You need to take her to the vets ASAP/ Has she been spayed?
My sisters dogs stomach bloated bad and she had to have hers put to sleep. her vains shut down and its just a terrible death.
Decreased risks of mammary tumors. (When an ovariohysterectomy (OHE) is performed prior to the first heat period in a female dog, the risk of mammary cancer later in life is less than 1%. When OHE is performed between the first and second heat periods the risk is about 8% of mammary cancer later in life. Anytime after the second heat period the risk of mammary cancer in female dogs is about 25%, whether an OHE is performed later, or not. This is perhaps the strongest argument for spaying female dogs.)
-Decreased risk of developing pyometria (This is infection of the uterus and it occurs in roughly 8% of
female dogs sometime during their life time. In dogs uterine infections are a greater risk than in other species, due to the unusual way in which dogs have estrus cycles. The long interval between cycles with a closed cervix leads to severe infections developing with minimal clinical signs and so the condition often is life threatening at the time it is discovered. ) |
