There's many things you can watch for when your baby's about to go into heat. Some of the signs my old vet told me are her "area" will likely swell up, her eating habits might change (eating more/less) as well as how she acts. If she's normally wild & crazy, she might suddenly slow down or seem less active....vice versa. And then of course after awhile, you'll notice little red dots on the floor, luckily since yorkies are so small, they don't bleed much at all.
I had to undergo 1 heat cycle with my baby. Her body decided to go into heat about 1 week before she was scheduled to get spayed. I'm glad I was able to experience it though so at least I have experience and know what to watch for in case it ever happens again. |
