Guest Anonymous Posted November 24, 2004 Posted November 24, 2004 Roxie (11 month old St. Bernard) hasn't been spayed yet. I haven't been able to afford it for the last five months due to little extra money. Anyway, now her nipples are swollen and I've found blood in her fur. Now I KNOW she hasn't been with another dog. Both of my males are neutered and she doesn't really go out unsupervised. When she does go out without supervision the other dogs always go with her. They would raise cain if another dog came on our property (not to mention if one was inside the fence). So is this just a case of false pregnancy? I've heard a little about that but don't know much. What can I do? Anything? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance! Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted November 24, 2004 Posted November 24, 2004 Not that I know of. I've never had a female before. This is all entirely new to me. I am just so confused. She seems to be the same except for the swelling and she's slightly more affectionate than usual. Man I wish I had been able to afford to have her spayed already. Maybe the vet will work something out with me. I'm not a breeder and don't want to be one. Too many puppies already without my dog adding to it! Sorry, just a little upset. I have to wait until Monday to talk to the vet! Quote
imported_Kat Posted November 24, 2004 Posted November 24, 2004 It certainly sounds as if she is in heat. keep her on a lead at all times and wait for 3 months until you get her spayed. Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted November 24, 2004 Posted November 24, 2004 Thanks y'all. I feel better now. I couldn't imagine how she could be pregnant because there's been no opportunity. If it's just her being in heat I can handle that. I'll continue to make sure there's no opportunity. I'll make an appointment next week with the vet. Quote
courtnek Posted November 25, 2004 Posted November 25, 2004 Bentley, theres a place called STOPP (stop the over population of pets) that will mail you a coupon for a reduced cost spay. They're on the web. I got a coupon for Ford. A 30.00 dollar neuter instead of the 90.00 the vet charges, and the spay is done by licensed vets who buy into the program. It costs 1.00 to get the coupon, and they will send you a sheet of vets in your area that cooperate with the program. Quote
AllAmericanPUP Posted November 27, 2004 Posted November 27, 2004 Hey, do you have the website for STOPP?? I'd like to get a coupon for my aunt's cat.. so hopefully can get her fixed and she wont have anymore kittens! Quote
courtnek Posted November 27, 2004 Posted November 27, 2004 http://www.spayusa.org/ go here an fill in your zip code. it will then have you fill out an application and will send you info for vets in your area. The service near me is called STOPP, but may be called something else near you. good luck! :) Quote
mouseatthebusstop Posted November 27, 2004 Posted November 27, 2004 my vet recomends 12 weeks after the first day of the heat season Quote
imported_Kat Posted November 28, 2004 Posted November 28, 2004 Same here Mouse. We always said at the practice 12-13 weeks after the bitch has finished her heat. Quote
