I had appointments with vet for both of my dogs on Dec. 21. My Westie, Duffy to be neutered and Jasmine, my Yorkie to be spayed. I was really having second thoughts about Jasmine as she isn't very big and I have heard so many horror stories about surgery on the little ones. After talking to Jasmine's breeder she recommended another vet who was more experienced with small breeds like Yorkies, I cancelled Jasmine's appointment. I took Duffy and he had the surgery, came home that night and is doing great. By the next morning I couldn't even tell he had surgery.

Because of all the Christmas rush, I didn't get another appointment for Jasmine and now I am certain she is in heat. She will be 6 months old on the 6th of January. She is swollen and licks herself constantly and has an odor she has never had before. There really hasn't been much blood. I think because she is constantly licking herself (talk about bad breath). Some on here have said their female seemed quieter and wanted to sleep a lot. Not Jas. In fact my 20 yr old granddaughter who is staying with us has commented several times the last few days that Jas has been especially ornery. She is getting so spoiled. We all cater to her. Even Duffy.

Anyway, now I will have to wait until this is all over to get her an appointment.

I thought when Dogs were neutered it took away all their sex drive. I have caught Duffy trying to mount her a couple of times the last few days. Whats up with that?
