HIya all

Treacle has started her first season (would you believe so did I, but not my first, obviously)!!!

Anyway, I came home from work, was on an early shift, to be told there was few drops of blood on my bed, was it me!!!! Anyway, on taking a look treacle is very very swollen with blood visible!! So.......... I thought I would try the pads(holder thingy) but she seems to hate it!! Won't walk around when its on, just stands still or lays down. Its not too tight, we have all checked that!!. Anyway, I have taken it off and she laying on my bed on a towel. She seems really low in mood and occassionally wimpering??

Can anyone tell me firstly, do they have any pain like us women do??
Secondly, any hints for protecting furniture etc, if i can't get her used to the pads.
Thirdly, how long does she bleed heavily/noticeably for, is it the whole 3 weeks!!!
And lastly, do they get some sort of pmt?? She seems really low in mood and she is always so so so lively and loving? or could this be pain????

Im really sorry if these seem really silly questions, but I havent had a dog since I was a kid and to be honest I can't remember anything other than her bleeding!!!

Thanks all,

Treacles very sad and worried mummy!!
