| Mimi went into HEAT.... She had an appt to get spayed next Friday and she went into heat. I need to reschedule the appt but needed to know how long do I have to wait. I'm a nervous wreck and devasted that I've push the date out so long. I feel like its my fault that I didn't get her fixed sooner and now she's going through this. Also, she's been aggresive & nasty with Timmy for the past 2 days. Is it because she's in heat? She will not let him get near any of the chew toys. They've been really fighting and it is really making me sad She's not aggresive to us at all just him. Gossshh I can't wait until my vets office opens today. I'm so full of questions. |

| They tend to have more mood swings when they are in heat . Some vets ask to wait 2 months after the heat periods for having them spayed . |

| It's not your fault!! This is all one big learning experience for all of us. Anyway, Peanut used to have TERRIBLE PMS when she was in heat. She is normally a very sweet and mellow girl, loves everyone, never barks. I remember she would just get this evil look on her face and sit on the couch all day facing away from everyone. I remember my vet had me wait two months to spay her... not sure what the reason is though. Don't worry, her mood swings are temporary.

| This has happened to me twice! The first time because I was in denial about her still being a baby and the second time my other girl went into heat early (at 6 months). I had to wait 2 months for the first but my second girl they operated on within a month. It had to be done because she developed an infection and her uterus became enlarged so it was an emergency surgery. |

| I think I was in denial too. I just called my vet and they stated I could wait or they can do it now while she is in heat but its going to cost more I told them I rather wait. I'm not playing this item...I'm taking her in 2 months. I don't think she likes wearing baby diapers |

| WOW....yeah 6 months is young. I think I would have freaked. My girl will be 1 next month and I wasn't expecting it or more like didn't want to expect it.... in denial. I'll just wait...in the meatime I have to keep my two seperate. I've been keeping Timmy upstairs in their bedroom and Mimi downstairs with gates When I'm home I put 3 belly bands on him and a diaper on her....do you think this is cruel? |

I'm not an expert but I have studied in the past (when I wanted to show dachshunds, a dream deferred), but I know the male can go crazy if he is not neutered and try anything and everything to get to the female and vice versa. So, I figure you can never be too careful. | |

Well its young for me because I've never owned a female so never knew what to expect with Mimi. I almost had a heart failure when I noticed she was in heat I could imagine if she were younger like your girl.... | |
