Jbea Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 My girl is due to come into season in October. But she is showing signs of coming in any day now. How abnormal is this? Should I have the vet check her? she is 18 months old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persephone Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Did she by any chance have a pseudo pregnancy last season? This can alter time from 6 mths to around 4 .... you can get blood tests done for hormone levels to find out where she is in in her cycle....

Sandra777 Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 (edited) If you are counting 6 months from the last time she was in heat then she was in season in April and it would be somewhere around 9-12 weeks since she was in season? The hormone changes are virtually identical whether they are pregnant or not so sometime around 9 weeks after they are in season their body sudden realises it's not preggie, and it's quite common for them to look like they may be coming in again - it goes away within a week I've found. Failing that she could be a 3 month-er, they're a total pain in the butt! If she doesn't actually come in season but continues to look as if she might, it could be a good idea to get her checked out in case she has low-grade pyometra, that usually kicks in a little sooner after the end of the heat, but anything is possible.

dancinbcs Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 These days mating at 16 months is considered pretty young except in toy breeds. How many seasons has she had? Some bitches take a while to settle into a routine. A lot are not on a 6 month cycle. It could be signs of a phantom pregnancy you are seeing or it could be that the last season wasn't fertile and she is coming in again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
