| Yes she sounds like she is in heat or very close. Is she licking herself alot? This is another sign. There cycle will last about 25 days and the 8th thru about the 16th day will be a very fertile time so be careful it only takes a spit second. Are you going to have her spayed? |

| If she was licking a lot last week, are you sure she didn't bleed already? If so, this would be about the time for clear to pink discharge. Otherwise yes, it does sound like she is going into heat and I'd personally postpone the spay.

| im pretty sure she didnt already bleed...she sleeps wit me everyite and i have white sheets so im pretty sure id notice it,even if it was a lil...there is no discharge...just pretty swollen...if this is heat would it harm her to continue with the spay?

| It is possible to spay but most like to wait about 4-8 weeks after (I'd probably do it no sooner than 6 weeks after) because the uterus is more fragile and there is more of a blood supply to deal with, so it is safer to wait. I would not spay during or right after heat if I had the choice.

She shouldn't bleed much and sometimes they keep themselves so clean that you don't see much discharge.

| A good clue would be how her breath smells. If it smells "odd", she is probably licking the discharge.

| Oh goodness...Im going through this with my Zoey as we speak! She started her first heat on March 27th. I hadnt noticed any signs that she was about to so when it came i got all emotional. haha. Its still going on and i feel like its never going to end! I went out and bought her some puppy diapers from Pet Co. but i gave up on them. They were such a hassle because id have to take it off of her when i let her out to go potty, then had to try an put another one back on her and she didnt like it at all! She would just sit in the middle of the room. i guess she felt like she couldnt walk. Zoey sleeps with me every night and i gave up on trying to save my comforter. Sad to say, but there are stains every where. Im going to get her fixed in probably 3-4 months. Also, her genitals and nipples are swollen...will they go back to normal when shes out of heat? |

| I'm not saying it's not possible, but it isn't generally a symptom of heat. It is a symptom of pyometra which is highly doubtful in this case (since she is so young and it hasn't been a few weeks since heat ended).
