| heat? are there any signs of a yorkie going into heat? because maisy's vet wants her to go through at least 1 heat cycle before she gets spayed/neutered--whichever is for girls..sry im new at this. She's 7 months now & i was wondering if there are signs that shes going into heat. also at what age did your yorkie girl go into heat for the first time?? thanks for the help!! |

| Is your vet older? That used to be what the old timers said. The newer vets have been of the opinion that they should be spayed before the first heat because of the approx 8% - 10% risk of cancers and tumors in later life. Mine was spayed at the age of 6.5 months and I believe she was nearing a heat, because he vulva was beginning to swell and turn darker than usual and she was beginning to lick herself, something she has since stopped doing. If you have a tiny yorkie, perhaps your vet has other reasons for wanting to wait. I don't really know.

| Bella is just now coming out of heat. The first we noticed was that her vulva was really swollen and she licked constantly but by the time we noticed it she was already bleeding.

| SHe will most likely be cleaning herself a lot, and if she doesn't you will probably see signs of blood around the house. And they get swollen too!
