Hello, our Maya was 7 months when she started her first heat, which was very early IMO. We didn't do anything special. We found her to be moody and at first I made little diaper's for her, but some of the members here suggested not to do that, to let her get use to cleaning herself. We did give her some special attention with health treats, ie; yogurt in her food and cottage cheese. She did get very sick at the same time but it wasn't related to her heat, at first I thought it was but it wasn't. So long story short, it is normal for then to go into heat, you don't need to do anything special except to cover your furniture if she is on the couch. Don't let her out where other males dogs can get at her or she will get pregnant. Lot's of love but don't be surprised if she is very mood and very tired.
Try not to worry it's perfectly normal. Hope that helps..... |
