My furbaby went into heat about a week before her spay surgery. I was so upset because I wanted to get her spayed before her 1st heat, but encountered some problems with the vet. They just wouldn't listen to me and as a result of waiting so long, she ended up going into heat. I changed vets once she was through with her heat and they did a fabulous job with her, plus I saved some money as they were cheaper.
With my baby, I could tell she was going into heat by excessive licking around her area and her area also started to swell. I don't remember exactly how long her heat lasted, but with yorkies being so small, luckily they don't "dribble" as much as large dogs were. Like others have said though, every puppy is different. One might have a longer heat cycle than the other or vice versa. Either way, you'll little one will come through just fine. |
