Hi everyone! Well I do believe our little girl is becoming a woman,lol.
I have a call into the vet, just to be sure, but thought I'd post on here until I hear from him.
Nina is a little over 7 months. The last week or so her vulva area has been getting bigger. She is still playing, eating, and everything normal, just the swelling. She is a little crankier than usual today, and seems to be washing herself more than usual, so I am thinking she may be going into a heat.
I have never had a female dog, so I am not even sure what they signs are, does this sound like the start of heat to you?
She will be going in to be spayed as soon as possible, I just avoided the vet the last couple months because he wanted her spayed at 10 weeks and I thought that was too young. I am sure he will not be pleased to know she went into heat before she could be spayed, but that's another bridge to cross.
Thanks for the help.
