I have just received my frist chihuahua and she is 3 years old. She weighs about 3 pounds and I'm not sure yet if she has been neutered. If she has been neutered, then would that determine if she will have periods or not? I hear that no matter what the breed of the dog is, all dogs have their periods twice a year and it last 4-15 days. Is their anyway we can prevent her froming having her periods?

If she is spayed, she will not "have periods" or what is called going into heat. The vet can usually check to see if there is a scar from already being spayed. The best way to prevent her from going into heat is to have her spayed if she is not already. Once she is spayed she will not go into heat anymore.

Female dogs are spayed, neutering is the operation that is done to male dogs. If she is spayed then she will no longer have a period because she will no longer have a uterus. Spaying her is the only way to prevent her from having a period. And i highly advise you have her spayed, she is so small if she were to get pregnant it would probably kill her. Take her for a check up at the vet and they should be able to determine if she is spayed or not. Unless she is having a period, then obviously she is not spayed.

Dogs don't have periods they have heat cycles. Heat cycles last 21 days.
females are spayed not neutered....males are neutered. Females do not go in heat after they have been spayed. The only way to prevent heat cycles is spaying.
Spaying prevents reproductive cancers, reduces the risk of mammary cancer and eliminates a very serious often fatal uterine infection called pyometria.

Female dogs don't have periods, number one, and they don't get neutered, number two.
Now that we have that cleared up, the answer to your question is no. A female dog will no longer go into heat after she is spayed.

you were informed wrong. if she is spayed she will not bleed anymore. most small dogs only go into heat every 7-9 months some longer and it last 20 days exactly. hope this answers your question.

If she is spayed, she will not have periods (estrus) cycles. Bring her to the vet for a thorough exam. Her stomach can be shaved to look for a spay scar.

if she was spayed she then shoudlnt have any more periods since her reproductive parts were taken off. If you dont want her to go in heat, you should opt for a spay.

first of all, females get spayed, and males get neutered. secondly if she was spayed she would not go into heat. it would be impossible for her to.
