Spaying Freckles

[Cazi]

I've just started work at a Vets and they recommend spaying 3 months after a season.

The other thing that the vet advised me about was keeping an eye on the dogs weight after the spay as they tend to put on a little.

Is it possible for dogs to go into heat and not bleed? She seems swollen down there.

Is it her first?

Amber is 19 months old and she has had only one and she was quite 'late' with the first one ( 14 months old).

She was swollen for about a week, bled for one week, and was swollen for a further week.

The swelling that you refer to could be the beginning of her season.

Well, my friend came over to "have a look" and supposedly she's not in heat. I think I will take her in just to make sure though. The earliest time I can get is the 15th of December. I just hope she can wait that long!

Every dog is different but I believe they only bleed for about a week that they are in season. They can be bred anytime in the 3 weeks they are in it though so be careful if she is in season.

Oh I most definitely will! No puppies for me!
