Berthapup having first season; she started on 4th May. She is still bleeding now though very light and mostly (but not always) just a pinky fluid.
Phoned vets last week to book her in to be spayed in three months. Whilst doing that I spoke to the veterinary nurse about end of season. She said that they are only fertile for a few days around day 10-12 and therefore she should be ok to go out in dog company as of this week. She said that she may still smell nice to un-neutered males but she wouldn't be receptive.
Now, I'm not convinced by this and we're definitely keeping her on quiet lead walks until the weekend which will be the three week point. But, if she's still bleeding is she still possibly fertile? Or are we safe from puppy risk but still going to have lots of male dogs following us closely followed by annoyed owners?
How do we know when it's all over?
