| Heat lasts for about 3 weeks from start to finish. I take the diapers off to let them go to the bathroom. You need to cancel your spay appointment. |

| Looks like the spay will have to wait for a few weeks! In the mean time, leave the diaper on and remove for potty runs and pad changes. P.S. Pantiliners work great and are cheaper than pet store brands! Just cut to fit your dog! GOOD LUCK! |

| The only time I needed to put a diaper on mine was during the night because she sleeps on my bed. Otherwise I didn't worry about it. They really keep themselves pretty clean. Also the bleeding stops after the first 9 days or so.

Maddie beat the Dr. for that appt. The same thing happend to my friends puppy next door! She took her in 6 wks later for a spay. Gracie did fine from that point. I know that it can be light and then a bit heavier...I had a poodle years ago that wore a diaper in the house and I took it off for potty outside and put it back on...same thing happened to her before a spay. How old is Maddie? all of them are so different with the first heat time. I had Sophie spayed at 9 mos...and was lucky she never went into heat before... I was trying to wait so the baby teeth could come out at the same time. Jut a little bit of inconvienence to you and Maddie right now...it will be over before you know it. Hang in there!

BANNED FOR NOT MAILING PRODUCTS PURCHASED | I was the same way with Kloeys 1st heat, she is my 1st Yorkie so I did not know what to expect! I bought pampers premie diapers and used them, I took them on and off for her to potty. I had to use white bandage tape to hold them on cause her tail would pop them off. Good luck! |

| They don't always bleed a lot during the first week the 2nd week is alot. Also I use baby diapers for Abigail. It works great I used premies for her first heat because she was smaller and I just cut a hole in the diaper for her tail and this year we had to use newborn they were a little big but they still worked really well. Good luck.

| Some dogs bleed more than others and are keep themselves cleaner than others. I had one dog where you didn't know she was in heat because she kept herself so clean. And then I had another dog that had to wear a diaper, so it varies, yours may not bleed very much.

| Males dont go into heat only females. You could get a stuffed animal his size to hump and it may keep him from humping your legs. Neutering may or may not stop the humping.

| Ohhhhh So males dont go into heat i dont want him humping peoples legs that's so embarrasing. Do you know how long his humping last for he was fine since saturday and then today he's a humping machine i dont really want to encourage him to hump but if i have to get him a teddy bear i guess i will |
