She turned 7 months old on Friday (yay Missy) and she *finally* reached 3 lbs (woohoo). I've noticed that the last couple of days she's not really eating much, and she's licking down below which she's never done before. Last night when we went shopping at Sapphire's Closet, Gillian's little Georgie seemed particularly interested in her. Don't worry I kept them apart.
I've never NOT spayed a dog before her first heat, so I really don't know what to expect. The only reason that I've delayed Missy's spay is because she has been put under anaesthetic FOUR times in the last 8 weeks, twice for xrays and twice for surgery. She is still recovering from her screw removal last week. So the timing has just been bad, and unfortunately she may have to go through one heat before I get to have her spayed.
SO, my questions (after all that babbling) is what should I expect? How long and how much do they bleed? How long does the heat last? Will she be uncomfortable? If so, what can I do for her? And how often do they go into heat?
Thanks everyone!
