Paul in North Lincs 15 Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 I have a lurcher bitch of about 15 months old that I've had for a couple of weeks. All well and good until yesturday, when I noticed she was quiet and reclusive......clearly not herself......she has not eaten for a day and seems to be favouring her back end, and keeps sitting while walking, and peeing alot.....also noticed that the hair is standing up more on the spine. Having only ever had 'dogs' before and not bitches I've never experienced bitches in season but noticed a couple of spots of blood on th kennel floor last week.....also the vulva dosnt seem that swollen and was pink but clear of any discharge this morning when I checked....One lcoal dog has been following us on our mornign walk paying plenty of attention to he back end. If shes no-better in the moring I'll take her to the vets for a once over, but wondered if Im over reacting ..... Are these symptoms usual for a bitch in season??????................particulalry for her to turn practically overnight ?? Any advice would be gratefull many thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
socks 32,253 Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 those are not symptoms of a bitch in season mate i would get her checked over by a vet soonest .......... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skycat 6,173 Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Their fur often sticks up along their spine if they are suffering internal pain: is she peeing and crapping OK? Could even be an abcess on the anal glands: but as socks says: get her to a decent vet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andrea 2 Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 hi, just looked it up in my book and this is what it say's. "Watch for licking, increase urination and/or enlargement of the vulva. Some bitches keep themselves scrupulously clean while others rise and leave a pool of blood" Bitches tend to be clingy and quiet during their season, particularly the first. Should your bitch have a coloured discharged, particularly greenish in colour, you should have this checked by a vet. Hope this helps Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paul in North Lincs 15 Posted February 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Thanks alot................... The toilet motions seem ok..no diarea....no vomittng...just quiet, hunched and off her food. I will go with my gut feeling and get her to the vet........whatever has turned her has, done very quickly indeed so I'll get it checked out asap. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hope this helps dont need a book to tell thats it certainly aint a normal season thing ............. I'm not disputing your advice, nor saying the symptom described is a season. Since this member has a female and he has very little experience of what to expect with seasons, i thought it would be worth, (for the future), to give him some information on what to expect.I too have a female, and i can tell you there's no such thing as a "normal" season. All are different, but the book does describe some common signs ( which is the reason i used it). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
socks 32,253 Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 if you know so much why are you quoting from a book ... use your own experience ......... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andrea 2 Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 if you know so much why are you quoting from a book ... use your own experience ......... AS I'VE ALREADY SAID ON THE EARLIER THREAD. ALL SEASONS ARE DIFFERENT. MY DOGS SEASON WILL BE DIFFERENT FROM HIS, SOME PRESENT ALL SIGNS, SOME VERY FEW. SOME COMMON, SOME NOT SO COMMON, USING THE BOOK MEANS I CAN GIVE THE COMMON SIGNS WHICH MY DOG WILL NOT NECESSARILY SHOW, THEREFORE I WILL HAVE NO EXPERIENCE OF THEM, ANYMORE THAN YOU WILL. Do me a favour, If your looking for trouble, f*ck off and bother someone else with your stupid posts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bollo cks, your looking for trouble and making something out of nothing. I had a book that gives the information he needed. I gave that information freely. You, on the other hand think your some kind of expert. It doesn't take a genius to know about a dogs season, so stop acting like you know it all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
