| Just because she is no longer showing color (bleeding), doesn't mean her hormones still aren't out of wack. It will take several days to a few weeks before she gets back to normal. In other words the swelling of her breasts do subside as soon as the bleeding stops, or her mental state does not go back normal immediately. It's just like in human women, each female dog is different. I have girls that are very self confident, but the come into Season all coy and stupid on me. They loose their brains....it's haromonal, simple as that. Now if her condition continues in a few weeks and you know she hasn't been in contact with a male, more than likely it is a false pregnancy.....If you aren't sure I'd start preparing yourself.

| Willow started to show just two days prior to her spay date, then my Vet wouldn't spay for awhile to allow her harmones to settle and complete the heat cycle even tho she was no longer showing. She began Labor Day weekend and my Vet wouldn't spay until around the 1st of Dec. Then I didn't want to have it done so close to Christmas resulting her her spay not actually happening until Jan. Until this happened, I thought when they stopped showing, around a month, it was over. There is a lot that goes on with these little guys that most of us don't know about and that's another reason for unmentored people not to breed so willy nilly like some seem so eager to do.

| no she has never been pregnant she just got over her second heat, the only time she could have been near a male was the groomers but they didn't say anything about her being with a male |

Donating YT 4000 Club Member | If you took her to the groomers while she was in heat, than you could very well have the possibility of an unplanned whelping on your hands. It doesn't take long for a tie to occur. Your best course of action is to take her in to see your vet and see what they have to say.

It can occur spontaneously, secondary to an infection (girls female organs are wide open during their Heat Cycle and suseptible to infection); as a post-partum (after whelping metritis, or mismating injection of estrogen,; as a post breeding or artificial insemination infection. This disease most commonly ocurs in bitches, starting at 3 to 4 years of age. The incidence increases with age and is increased in bitches with several nonpregnant cyles (false pregnancies resulting). Virtually every intact bitch can develop cystic endometrial pyometritis complex. Therefore, if they are not intended for breeding, they should be spayed prior to 3 years of age. The "classic" signs of pyometra are increased water intake and urination, depression, and lethargy. Fever may be present, especially in advanced cases. Sometimes a vaginal discarge is present, sometimes not. Anytime a bitch is "off" after being in season, watch for these signs. The time varies, but observe roughly at two to three weeks. Usually it affects older bitches but can occur in younger ones. It can be very sneaky; the animal may become critical before the owner recognizes it is ill. Once diagnosed, it must be treated at once. Spaying is the best option. Waiting to treat with antibiotics can result in a ruptured uterus and a fatality. An old adage in veterinary medicine is "don't let the sun set in a case of pyometria". Once you decide you will no longer be breeding your bitch have spayed as soon as possible.

| And what I wonder is this...if you are not planning to breed, why not spay & neuter at the first available opportunity?

| I understand your reluctance, they do need those hormones for growing. But, now that she over a year I think her growing is complete. Take her in for her health and your peace of mind.
