Kirty Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 My Dane had her first season a few months ago. I put the date in my phone - and then accidentally killed my phone. I want to book her in for desexing but about 3 weeks ago, her vulva seemed a bit swollen so I put it off. It has stayed swollen but hasn't progressed to a season. It is nowhere near as swollen as when she was in season. Is she possibly coming into season? I think her first season was about 3 months ago so I'm thinking not, but I don't want to open her up and find she is in. Are there any other signs that a dog is coming into season?

becks Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Are you sure you only recently noticed the vulva was slightly swollen? it won't go back to the size it was before a first season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stolzseinrotts Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 (edited) One of the obvious signs they are coming into season is a coat drop. If your girl was in 3 months ago then it is unlikey that she is coming in again so quickly. Having said that some bitches will cycle every 4 months, but most of them are at 6 monthly cycles.

Kirty Posted July 29, 2010 Author Share Posted July 29, 2010 Thanks for the replies. becks, its possible. She is a very timid dog and sits down when you approach, so I don't often get a good look at her rear end! LOL! Stolz, she has hardly any coat already and I haven't noticed any drop.

Christina Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 In season or not in another week or so you can book her in, as it will be over anyway. Silent or full season is possible if the first season was a short, not full on season. If she is not humping, flagging when you run your hand down her back to her tail or attracting dogs its not likely. When I had short coated dogs I never noticed any coat change at all with any of them. Best thing to do is ask the vets advice if you are still unsure in a week.
