Carolk9s Posted October 10, 2002 Share Posted October 10, 2002 Well I'm drawing on stuff I've read so I hope some of it helps. While you female is in season, she might be moody, happy, cranky, playful, shy, outgoing etc etc! Each one differs in how they react to these hormonal fluctuations. If she 'just wants to be alone', allow her some space. If she wants to cuddle and seek assurance from you, by all means cuddle and love on her. If previously perfectly trained, she may have some lapses, both in obedience and housetraining. You can get some doggie underwear or 'bitches britches' probably at a pet store to keep things a bit cleaner around the house. You may need to confine her to a specific portion of the house, perhaps a tiled floor area such as the kitchen? That will keep the spots off the furniture or rugs. Of huge importance, and please don't think I'm assuming you don't already know this, she is to NEVER go outside by herself OR off leash while in season, I would count on being by her side and on the lookout for males for the next 4 weeks. In fact, unless you will be showing her and perhaps breeding her, why not get her spayed as soon as she is done with her season so the both of you do not have to go through this again? Will make both your lives SO MUCH EASIER! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do see a difference in her, but not a bad one. She's usually extremely hyper, but now she's calm. Still lovable though (she likes hugs and kisses) I know the cat is thrilled cuz she's always rough housing him but now she is ignoring him. A bit of a good break for the cat lol :lol: Thanks again guys. It's just me, my mom, the dog, a female cat, and male cat. 4 against 1 so we all feel for Elle. :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
