During a silent heat, there are little, to no signs. No discharge, very little to no swelling of the vulva, etc. It's common for their first heat to be a silent heat. They still can become pregnant though. If you're trying to breed you could take her to the vet for a progesterone test that would indicate when she is ovulating, but it usually takes several tests. Also I have seen multiple silent heats be caused by thyroid imbalances. I, personally, would just let nature take its course and the next heat will be here before you know it and you will be looking at spring/summer babies, rather than fall/winter babies. |
