I know that I'm probably the most stupid dog owner in the world but I had arranged for my lovely springer to be spayed 2 weeks ago when the vets rang me at the last minute to cancel the op. They didn't know when they could rearrange and we have been away for the last week.
Whilst we were away in Northumberland DDog started behaving very strangely and then came into season (she had her 1st birthday while we were away). Now I'm not sure what to do as had not really planned on having a bitch in season although the breeder we bought her from said it was best to let her have one season before being spayed.
I guess my question is, how do I tell when she's finished being in season? The daycare that she usually goes to won't take her while she's in season and have said that I need to leave it 28 days before she can come back. Also, when can I arrange for her to be spayed - do I have to wait for a few months?
Lastly, as well as feeling incredibly stupid for not realising what's involved in a bitch being in heat, I also feel like I have to put my life on hold for the next month to look after her. Feeling very down about the whole thing and would very much appreciate any advice anyone can give.
