My new bitch came onto season about seven weeks ago, my dog whose frankly not got much idea looked a bit blank about the whole thing but we separated them. Then as the season got stronger (?right term) the penny dropped my dog realised what this was all about and went frankly mad. So my friends had the bitch for about 8 days and returned her when other dogs she met were not showing any interest. When the bitch came back we still kept then separated because he was still very interested but my DS accidentally let them in together for about 20 mins whist he was in the bath!
Now the bitch is exhausted can even climb steps, obsessed about food she raiding the bins and eating bird food and pees on the floor at night (she's never done this before). But rather than gaining weight i would say she's sort of lost it but her rib cage has sort of expanded. She's a very long back dog and some helpful person at work was telling me that long back dogs carry puppies "high up" and often don't look pregnant and just their rib cage looks well sprung (hers does) and even scan aren't always conclusive!
Any thoughts?
