But we have 3 male, neutered dogs, and none of them are reacting in any way to her. Our neighbor had adopted an older gal who wasn't spayed for the same reason, and especially one of our boys ALWAYS knew when she was in season.

I'm hoping it is just that, and not something more serious. She is such a sweet little thing. She's in desperate need of a dental. The original exam also said she had bloodwork consistent with Addison's disease, but had few other symptoms of the disease. I'm taking a urine sample with her tomorrow to see if that might give us a clue.

I'll let you know what we find out tomorrow.
