2 Dogs in Heat omg Hi I have 2 dogs one Yorkie and one pom-terrier mix. they are both in heat one week apart and i´m going nuts they hump everything lol :rolleyes: How do you all on YT handle this :cool: do any off you know what i mean :aimeeyork:animal-pa But how can you not :D at this after it´s all back to normal :animal-pa |
I handled it by getting my pets spayed/neutered as puppies. Never had this issue and am happy not to ever experience it either. Maybe this is something you should consider as well. :) |
Spayed mine. Less chance of cancer that way;) |
I don't have this problem and never will, as mine are all spayed. And that is how it is handled. |
Yes i know but i only got my yorkie 6 weeks ago and she is 4.5 years old so i don´t think it´s going to be done and my other dog is 2 years old so i guess i have to deal with it :rolleyes: |
Why would you not get them spayed? It is better for them and you. I would talk to your vet. |
Never, ever had that problem, with males or females :) They can still be neutered later on in life :confused: Sally + Harry x |
Never had this problem. Also had Taycie spayed as well. |
Your 2 year old can safely be spayed (actually, could have safely been spayed for a while now), so good news :) you don't have to deal with it. I don't know if you were misinformed. |

Get them both spayed and you won't have to deal with it. Better yet, THEY won't have to deal with it. I got Bonnie when she was 6 and had her spayed. No problems, no issues. She recovered just as quickly as Gracie Ruth did when she was spayed at 6 months of age. Bonnie is sooooooo much happier now not having all those hormones raging through her. So age is not an reason. |
i don´t have 1.100 dollars on hand just before x-mas so no spaying :rolleyes: what is 5 weeks every 6 months anyway they are healthy and happy |
Spaying your dog can save their life. Not having your dog fixed makes them so much more likely to develop cancer in their mammary glands. I just had my dog spayed on Friday, and I would suggest everyone does as well unless you really are a very experienced breeder |

Unspayed females run a serious risk of developing pyrometra. Often times this is fatal as the condition is detected too late. The older the female...the more often she's come into heat and the risk is increased. ACVS - Pyometra in Dogs & Cats There is a much higher risk of mammary cancer as well. Most vets wouldn't spay a bitch in heat so you could arrange it way after the holidays. |
It is VERY important to spay your dogs!! If you cant afford to pay for them to be spayed, how will you pay for pyometra treatment when that happens? or any other emergency? |
Okay, I just realized you’re from St. Johns Canada, here’s one place Capital Area Humane Society Dogs 5 months and over = $150 Dogs 7 years and over = $100 This price is even better. Low Cost Spay/Neuter The last one on the page, the others are FL. St. Johns Animal Emergency Hospital Low Cost Spay / Neuter Clinic – Animal Emergency Hospital offers low cost spay neuter clinics as a community service for St. Johns County and surrounding areas. This service is designed for young, healthy pets. Older pets or those with medical issues, please speak with your regular veterinarian before scheduling elective surgery. Costs: Cat spay $55.00, neuter $35.00. Dog spay $65.00, neuter $55.00. Call (904) 794-5071 after 5 p.m. to schedule spay / neuter for your pet. I think as long as your vet says your dogs are healthy, you'll have no problem. Most breeders spay their breeding dogs at 5 or 6 for females and even older for males. |

I love my pets and would not want them to go thru something that could be avoided. insurance or not. Maybe consider doing 1 at a time. |

Preventive is best. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if anything happened to Ahi that I could have help prevent. Ahi will be getting "genetically altered" soon too. :D |
They need to be spayed, but until then you can buy fancy pants or whatever they are called to avoid a mess. Don't you still have to come up with the money up-front with insurance? Like all they do is reimburse you after? All insurances are different but I mean if your dog gets a pyometra and you catch it early enough to treat (because a lot of the time it's too late and infection sets in) it will be super expensive. Also, mastitis treatment is pretty expensive too. I would say the best solution is to eliminate the possibilities. Spay them. Im sure you can find a low cost spay/neuter clinic somewheres. You just gotta look. My dog is getting neutered for $45.00 including bloodwork. |

Doesn't matter what you can afford or have insurance for...if the condition is fatal. |
Let me try to explain pyrometra another way. A dog's heat is not like a human menstrual cycle where everything is expelled. In a dog that isn't being bred, it just stays there. Quite literally the dog goes from seemingly fine...to death. It is that quick. |
