Lucky Chaos Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 Holly came into heat sometime yesterday. I know I have to watch her at every single second, and not let her in the yard on her own, but she still need excercise, and a lot of people around here just let there dogs roam. Is there any way I could keep the other dogs away? Also Lucky's going crazy! He's neutered and everything but he's still trying to go after her! We already called the vet, but I was just wondering why vets won't spay a dog in heat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aonir Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 Well, a cure for that is to take her to a park for her to 'go' so she doesn't leave in inheated scent around the house. It will help, but probably not eliminate the chances of dogs hanging around. You could also get those doggie panties :) I read about that in a book so it should be a good solution. But it is kind of difficult to do.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosebud Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 :D Not really much you can do except be with her EVERY minute she's outside. Sally's due to come in heat in the next couple of weeks so remember you won't be alone with this. As far as the spaying in heat, the reason is the chance of serious complications like excessive bleeding or hemmorage are greater when in heat. Just really not worth risk. :angel: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelboddy Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 You can also put on of those doggie diapers on her if you want to go to the park and still socilize her with other doggies and people. That is the best thing to do for now, till you can get he spayed. :D wish you luck. :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angelboddy Posted August 23, 2003 Share Posted August 23, 2003 Hope you don't mind me asking but.... What does the ucalliptus oil do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carolk9s Posted August 23, 2003 Share Posted August 23, 2003 Eucalyptus (I think thats right) oil will help mask the scent. Another scent that would help in this way is I think camphor, like in Vicks Vapor Rub. It may not completely hide or mask the scent from a nearby male but it will help. Some show people will put a tiny dab of a strong scent on the top of a males nose in case there are females in season at the show. In conformation shows, it is allowable to show bitches in season. They want their male to pay attention to showing, not that cute girl over there who smells SO good. Most obedience and agility trials forbid bitches in season from competing.

Horsefeathers! Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 The cheapest poochie panties I ever used on any of mine in the past were just a plain pair of boys' undies (the ones with the flap open fly). If you put a panty liner in them and turn them around backward, the tail sticks out through the fly. They fit perfectly and are very cheap (to me, those poochie panties are ridiculously expensive considering the way they're made, or maybe I'm just a tightwad). At the time, my bitches were sporting Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles pooch panties. :oops: My bitches all had at least one heat cycle before being spayed.

Horsefeathers! Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 Oh, I've also heard of people using vanilla to mask the scent of a bitch in heat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imported_amber Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 hi Lucky-Chaos There's a lot of Holly's out there :angel: One of my baby Danes (8months) is also named Holly, her mum Jem, was mated a week before Christmas so it was quite apt. Never, ever, ever have a bitch spayed whilst on heat, usually done (by good vets) in between heat. Also, it is not very kind to 'male' dogs at shows when a bitch is in season!!!!! but everyone have different thoughts on that, but that is my view :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
