Andrea 2 Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 No problem Paul. I hope that even if my information was of no use to you this time, it may be of use later on. Glad the youngster is doing well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest longslip Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 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 i could be a mile of here but you say you only had the bitch 2 weeks and you noticed blood last week.. Could the bitch have been coming OUT of season when you got her??? sorry just a thought Quote Link to post Share on other sites
