Pebbles was spayed 2 weeks' ago and has now recovered from the operation fine. However, she is, - how can I put it - wild Her behaviour just seems to be almost out of control at times. She is so full of energy, jumping up, barking at the slightest sound , mouthing and biting (just play biting) as she did when she was a puppy. Also scrabbling at the carpet/lawn as if nesting. She is now 16 months' old and had really started to calm down prior to the spay. I expect her to be energetic as she is only young still but it's as if all the training etc. has just gone out of the window.
Does it take a while for the hormones to settle down and has anyone else experienced this please?
Georgia was spayed due to hormonal problems over 3 mths ago
The spaying has now (thankfully
) removed the behavourial problems
I asked the vet how long it would take for her hormone's to settle & they did advise 2 - 3 months.
Pebbles is at the teenager stage, so will be pushing the boundaries. I wouldn't have thought its anything to do with her recent spay.
It is probably worth going back to basics with her training.
