| first heat!!! ahhh!!! ok well this is my first time dealing with this sort of thing, i never had a female dog before, i didnt want to get her neutered in case i wanted to be a grandma some day, but right now she is way too young to have babies so what can i do so my male dog doesnt get too crazy, and from what i know right now she is just swollen in her lady part, i was curious as to how long it takes for her to actually start bleeding and what i should do there. thanks for any of the help you can offer. |

| Princess bled for about 3 weeks and acted strange for about a week before that. There are diapers, bellybands, etc. but many have been warned here they do not work to prevent a tie! The only way to keep her safe is to keep them completely separated, and even then in the same house can be a big challenge, it only takes a minute for something to happen...

| Please, please invest in a metal crate and put it, and her, in a separate room with the door closed at all times. You will have to confine her AWAY from him for at least 3 weeks. When she does start to bleed, she will not feel good, so she will sleep alot in the crate. Take them for walks separately. They will have to be separated for at least 3 weeks, maybe 4. He will probably whine, cry and bark day and night and scratch at the door to the room she is in, and maybe even growl or nip at you trying to get him away... It isn't easy to go through this twice a year. Please spay her...........

2+2=4 X the Love ♥ Donating Member | They can not be left alone at any time during her heat for any amount of time. Please be very careful. Keep her in her cage most of the time. Put them out separately and walk them separately. Male dogs are very cleaver and persistent during this time and can tie in no time at all. Be especially careful around day 10 - 15 of her heat. That is when she will be acceptable to the male and can become pregnant. Belly bands are a good idea for times when they may be together for short period of time but should still be under constant supervision.
