Doggie Update
I picked up the hellhound yesterday, fully expecting a nice row of sutures and a sedated predator. They told me they couldn't spay her because she was still in season. Hadn't I got the phone message?
Well, I guess I did, and inadvertently deleted it before listening. So now I have to take her back in four weeks.
This dog hadn't bled in 13 days. Was I supposed to examine her engorged privates? I think not. How DO you tell when a dog is out of heat? Beats hell out of me.
The overnight in the kennel traumatized her, though, so that's good. She and her swollen nethers are ignoring me.
That's a good thing.
Hah. You'll be puppy-blogging before long!

Posted by: GUYK at August 23, 2007 11:48 AMSurprised they didn't do it, my vets do, but they charge a bit more if they are in season.

Posted by: dogette at August 25, 2007 2:22 PMRun the bitch by a dog with a hog and see if he goes for it. If he does, she's hot, if he don't, she's not.
If she's not. Get her snipped. Coil wire and all.
A dog in season can be spayed!! It usually costs more but it's done all the time.
My Bichon is carrying on with this horrid little mutt down the road and he is just common. I've told her that. She deserves purebred.
But frankly, I'm ready to have her spayed because she gets so nutty.
We have a male dog but he got tutored a long time ago. We say it that way because he is very smart. And we say that Annie might be sprayed.
Dogs is smart.
