| HELP! first heat and a new puppy! Cuddles just went into her first heat and i'm not sure what to do?!?! Should I use diapers? she goes on her pee pee pads and she's not bleeding too much and she weighs 4.2 lbs right now. Also on friday i'm getting a new puppy and he's a male and is 11 weeks old so should i keep them apart still or will it be okay since he's so young? i have too many questions to ask but those are the ones im concerned with the most. |

For saftey and piece of mind, i'd leave them separated. Fiona came into heat when she turned 7 months old. I bought her a diaper and left it on only when she was with us, never when she was in her crate or going outside. she kept herself pretty clean. if you have any questions, call your vet. They dont really bleed that much, and they usually lick to keep them clean. Good Luck

Donating YT 10K Club Member | Males do not become sexually mature until 6 months. Many yorkies keep themselves clean enough that panties aren't necessary. You'll have to determine whether your not she needs to wear them.

| No, the male pup can't get her pregnant this time, but, now if she's not spayed by the next heat, he'll most likely be able to get her pregnant |
