My Baby is 7 mos. old and is in her first heat.
I noticed little drops of blood on the floor and on the comforter on our bed.
I have never had a female who wasn't fixed and I am not sure what to expect.
This is kind of a gross subject matter and I am sorry for that but I just thought this forum has helped with other issues I may as well give it a shot.
I got her special panties with little pads. She doesn't seem to mind it too much but I can tell its annoying her a bit.( I am not so sure of how she is supposed to go to the bathroom it has an opening at the tail but thats for #2. )
I just don't know too too much about this when it comes to doggies.
like ...
How long does this last for?
How often will she go in to heat? ( every month? every few months?)
What can I do to make her more comfy?
Will it get heavy or will she just spot?
Is she going to have to go to the bathroom in her panties?
Any help would be appreciated deeply!
