Question

no like her menstral cycle

Answer 1

1. What is heat?

Heat is more properly called the estrous cycle. During this cycle, female dogs may get pregnant. It’s equivalent to human menstruation.

2. What are the symptoms?

Females bleed from the vagina sometimes with swelling of the vulva and increased urination. Don’t expect bleeding comparable to a human female.

For small dogs, it’s usually not much and you may need to pay close attention to your puppy to identify her first cycle. Other than the bleeding, the most noticeable symptom may be male dogs hanging around your house.

3. When does a dog come into heat?

The average female dog has her first cycle about six months of age. A few dogs start earlier and few dogs later, even as late as 14-months.

If you have a new female puppy, you should watch her and note when she has her first cycle. If she’s 14-months old and still hasn't’t been in heat, you should take her to a veterinarian.

4. How long does the heat cycle last?

The average is three weeks or 21-days. In some dogs, it lasts only two weeks while others go four weeks.

5. How often will she be in heat?

Most female dogs have regular cycles usually every six to eight months. It’s quite typical to be in heat twice a year.

6. When can she get pregnant?

She can get pregnant only when in heat. Some breeders test for progesterone levels to identify the most fertile days but the rule-of-thumb is that the most fertile days are 11-15 of her cycle.

Note – when she’s in heat, the average dog will permit any male dog to mount her. Few females, however, will accept a male when they’re not in heat.

7. Can she get pregnant her first cycle?

Yes. However, responsible breeders generally would not breed a dog that early. For one thing, you need to do genetic testing and some serious problems such as hip conditions do not show up until a dog is approximately 2-years of age.

8. Can I take her on walks during this cycle?

Yes with care. She has no problem with the exercise but she’s a walking magnet for male dogs.

Even the best trained and behaved female dog will succumb to hormones. You can’t trust her off a leash or out of your control. Never let her outside by herself even in a fenced yard if there is any possibility of male dogs nearby.

For walks, if there are male dogs in your neighborhood, it’s a good idea to take your dog in your car and drive to a remote area. Take her for the walk there and drive back home. Otherwise, the scent of her urine and vaginal discharge will blaze a trail to your home.

9. When I can have her spayed?

The answer to that one has changed continually over the 25-years I’ve been in the dog business. People used to be told to let their dog go through at least one cycle or let them have one litter.

Today, veterinarians are doing it much earlier. Some vets spay as early as 6-weeks of age! Talk to your veterinarian about your dog and the vet’s preferences. The state of veterinary medicine also is much improved over the past 25-years.

10. If I don’t have her spayed, will she go through menopause.

No. Her fertility may decline but she will not go through menopause comparable to a human’s. She won’t lose her ability to become pregnant even as a senior so if you don’t want to her to have any (or more) litters, she must be spayed.

Answer 2

It is actually possible that they didn't lie: a very few b*tchs are born with two complete sets of reproductive organs, and vets may remove one uterus and two ovaries and be wholly unaware that there's more of the same hiding somewhere in her abdominal cavity. Keep in mind that first seasons may be irregular, so your girl may not follow the rules. Some girls come in, quit, and come back in later (split heat). Some girls just don't follow the rules at all! Generally, a heat cycle lasts 21 days from the onset of bleeding. There will be bright red blood which will become a lighter red or straw colored discharge at somewhere around 8 - 12 days later... this is when she is ready to be bred. When these days are over, there will be a smaller discharge more like what she started with that will last until day 21. I generally do NOT use any of the britches... warm and dark and no air circulation is a great environment to develop an infection, and I would rather clean some than have a sick girl. Many girls, if you point out droplets of blood to them, will realize it is their job to stay clean and do very well at it. Just because there are no intact dogs in your neighborhood doesn't mean that no intact dogs will come! Supervise like a crazy thing, and know that she may be very motivated to escape... digging under or jumping a fence, going through a window or door. Know that males will be as motivated to get in, and that dogs can easily breed THROUGH chain link fencing! She may be a little clingy or weird, but that is normal. Normally, b*itchs come into heat roughly every six months. Good luck with the heartworm treatment. I hope it goes well and easily for her. I assume you are going to wait until she is out of season to start that?

There are a few real keys to dog training, whether you are trying to train your dog to come when called, sit, stop barking or any other behavior. Understanding their importance is critical to achieving rapid results that are long lasting and help develop the bond between you and your dog. Read more here https://biturl.im/aU0wc

The first is simple; you must win your dogs mind. If you don't achieve this first then you will be struggling the all the way. When I talk about winning your dogs mind what I really mean is that your dog looks to you for all the decisions. Before you do anything else watch one of the amazing video sites that show you the 5 Golden rules to establishing yourself as the pack leader. If you aren't putting these in place then you are setting yourself up to fail. Just at the crucial point where you really want your dog to listen they will go and do their own thing. For sure your dog may play ball occasionally or even most of the time, you may even have a dog that is obedient 99% of the time, however if you want a dog who always listens to you and does as you ask then you need to win your dogs mind.

The second key to success is to motivate your dog. It is really important that you discover what it is that your dog enjoys both in terms of exercise and play but also in terms of a reward. If you can make the experience enjoyable then you will both achieve more and look forward to training.

Some dogs love to fetch, others love agility, and other dogs simply love obedience training, or swimming out into water and retrieve. At least to start with find out what your dogs love is and help them develop this, what I am saying is work with your dog. The other point to recognize is to make training enjoyable reward your dog.

Answer 6

Some go into heat every 4 months..I have one of those...or they can follow the "rule" and come in twice a year. Most will fall anywhere in between. Maybe every 7 months, maybe every 5 months....they are all different.
The length of the cycle varies from dog to dog. Some have a long cycle, some a short cycle. Some have a longer bleeding time, others a shorter one. Some are in standing heat for a short time, some a longer time.
You will not know until it happens and you keep track of it.
However....with a mixed breed....spaying is the best option. Helps avoid the cancer and uterine infections too.

Hi, I understand that you are looking for some advice or resources to help fully train your dog or fix behavior problems. If a professional dog trainer is not an option at this time, or if you want to trt training your dog on your own (a great way to bond), I'd suggest you https://tinyurl.im/4ciic

Keep her on a short leash (literally) for the next three weeks. Buy some boys underwear to put on her (you can cut out a hole for the tail) and get some pads to put in them to keep the mess to a minimum. If you allow her to lie on the furniture, put some towels down for protection. She will be in heat for three weeks. After that, and after her heartworm is treated, you can see about getting her spayed. She will go into heat again in around six months (and every six months thereafter, if you don't get her spayed).

Answer 9

Dogs typically go into heat twice a year, but it will vary some. As you own a cross-bred dog, I would definately get her spayed so you don't need to worry about heat cycles. If you get her spayed prior to her first heat cycle (typically around 6 months old) she will have many health benefits. Her chances of getting mammary cancer will drop to less tahn 0.5%, you won't have to worry about pregnancy, uterine or ovarian cancer, or some behavior problems. Talk to your vet about getting her spayed and you will both be much happier!

Answer 10
