First Season - how far through are we?
This is the first time I have gone through a season with a bitch and as much as I have read up about it and tried to anticipate it, it of course sneaked up and caught me a little off guard!
I'm not concerned for my girl's general health - she seems perfectly fine, if a little whiney, sleepy and quirkier than her usual self. I just wonder if we maybe missed identifying the start of her coming into season?
She seems to have gone from just a couple of days ago us noticing a tiny spot of blood, and her licking herself a bit more than usual, but no real swelling, to now being extremely swollen, with very watery, pinkish droplets and pacing/shuffling around the house, whining and grumbling.
As I said, her health seems fine, I am just trying to estimate what arrangements I need to make for her, and for how long over the next few weeks as obviously we are have to keep her away from her usual day care.
For those concerned/curious, we do intend to spay at the appropriate time after this first season.
