I think it's better that she is being spayed later after her growth plates close. I would be careful walking her, and I think I might be afraid to because of people who let their dogs off lead. I read that it's best to walk them away from their home, so that the scent doesn't lead any males to your house. Your little girl can be spayed two months after her heat, and she will do fine. I think the length varies, especially during a first heat. I was just recently at the vet with Katie, and someone brought her Bichon in because she was in heat for a month. I didn't think that was very unusual until I saw that she was still bleeding after all of that time. Good luck with Zoey, and when the time comes, I hope she does well when you get her spayed. |
