Pup has come into season.

[MiseryBusiness]

We obviously want to spey her but our local vets wouldnt do it until she was between 6 - 7 months which we thought would be fine.

She turned six months 2 weeks ago so we booked her in to be speyed and was due to go in on Monday but yesterday she was behaving a bit odd, off her food and sleeping a lot and I had a feeling something wasn't quite right and this morning she has come into season.

I've given her old towels to lay on as she didnt seem to want to go in her bed. We wont walk her as we dont want her to become pregnant.

Any advice on making her feel comfortable - she looks terribly sorry for herself!

We were due to fly home to the UK in just over 3 weeks and she was going to stay with our trainer so I'll have to try and cancel our flights.

Bless her though, she looks so depressed

Lots of people walk their in season dogs and it's fine, lots of people walk their in season dogs and it isn't fine.

There are lots of reasons people do not neuter their dogs, epilepsy or some other illness that means the anaesthetic is dangerous, showing the dog, waiting until the dog matures, behavioural problems etc so it's simply not good enough to say 'well, they should have neutered their dog'.

well seeing as they are constantly sexual (male dogs) maybe their owners should never take them out given the terrible things that you reckon can happen to a dog if he catches a whiff of an in season female 3 fields away. it's just too dangerous
