Thread: dog in heat

    Anyone familiar with symptoms of chihuahua heat?

    We have a very small female chihuahua. She is 1 year and 3 months old and weighs just over 2 pounds. I think she is having her first heat. All my other animals are/have been neutered/spayed, so I'm really not knowledgeable on this topic. I have no intention of breeding this dog. The vet and I have been waiting for her to get a little bigger. I was concerned with the risks of anesthesia since she's so small.

    Anyway, for about a week she's been spotting a little bit of blood. She mostly cleans herself. The thing that is strange is that her nipples are huge and seem so swollen, even high up on her chest. Is that normal?

    I'm terrified she might be pregnant, but she doesn't go outside, and my other pets are neutered. I know it's silly, but I'm worried another dog snuck in the house somehow or she snuck out. The fact that she's so small makes it even harder to believe she could have a caller of the appropriate proportions to mount her. Her big nipples are just freaking me out. I'm going to try to get her into the vets early this week. Any advice?
