    Default Sigh.....first heat

    We had to dealy Dumpling's spay and now she is in heat. How long after her heat should I wait to have her spayed? Any tips for managing her and how long it should last?

    She needs to be kept away from males for at least 3 wks to a month.....And bathed after that!

    You have 6 months in between heats....so....I'd wait at least another month or 2 to get her spayed.

    They sell cute panties....I think they're the cheapest. I get the woman's liners at the dollar store! I change every time they go outside.

    She might not like them...so get two pairs .....you usually need to wash.

    The woman that has Leah is using disposable doggy diapers....They cost a lot more!!!

    Be aware...that male dogs can smell her for about a mile!!! So you might have dogs hanging around your house...
    She might have to go potty more often...

    Make sure your kids don't let her get out without a leash!
