Hello Folks,
We believe little Millie may be just "starting" her first season.
As you may recall a few weeks ago she was off her food, she has been recently licking her private benjamins over the last week or so, and today she came for a belly rub and I noticed small reddish stains on her belly. I got my baby wipes and had a check - definitely some reddish brown (like rusty water) discharge, albeit not very much.
As a result we have come to the conclusion that she is in or is coming into season.
No show for us on Sunday!
My question is - what have other bitch owners used as a protective measure for furniture and carpets?
my friend at work used mikki pants and pads on her shih-tzu ... I have seen somewhere that one woman uses kiddies boxer-short-type-pants on her dogs and just boils them to clean
Obviously tomorrows agility is now out of the question, and no walks for 3 weeks .. my bum will turn to jelly!
Any thoughts / advice peeps?
***Modified to say - My breeder has recommended that I give Millie sepia 30 (?) (homeopathic remedy from boots) and "Viotin" (fur and nail powder from a farm shop) in order to try to prevent her from losing too much of her fur as she comes out of season. Have I got the names of these right? ***
