I have recently acquired a dachshund who is 10. Last season unknown. It looks like she is/was in season and just wondered if anyone with an older dog could share experiences?
So she is not good with walk, a lot of anxiety and I’m working with a behaviourist. It was going ok until about 10 days ago and she was refusing point blank to walk and more nervous etc
A male dog we know was paying more attention to her rear end (although he always does!) when we saw them briefly (long lead!) about 5 days ago. Neither were showing signs of wanting to mate or anything but wondered if that’s relevant. Yesterday I washed al her bedding. He bed downstairs is dark but her crate bedding is light. I noticed very small amount of dried blood and then an area of sort of smudgy dry dischargy type stains? I last washed it 2 weeks ago ish. The last couple of days she has been more clingy and begging for more food. She doesn’t very often wash and I certainly haven’t seen any excessive licking of her rear end that I have read about as a sign?
So this is looking like a season but how long is it likely to last or where abouts is she likely to be in it? Iv read they last 2-3 weeks... checked her bed this morning and no stains at all?
