You seem to be doing a lot of the right things for her. I would take her into the vet soonest, and get a full blood panel done on her and a thorough physical examination. Also look into getting pet insurance, there could likely be health issues appearing down the road. And make sure to tell the vet she was bred at six months old. Do you have her prior medical history? You want to know if she had any difficulties during labour, or with nursing. You also want a complete record of her shots.


Gals can be moody during heat, each gal can respond differently, but usually will have some emotional swings over their 21 days. Often times they can be quite affectionate and needy the first week, then switch to more aloof and snappy.


Just remember to protect her from mating. THat means she is never left un-attended by you. If you have no intact males in the house that is great. If you take her to the vet while she is in heat, take her in in a carrier (for her safety and yours).
