My experience with female dog in heat
First female dog I have owned, so the first time i am dealing with the
female dog heat cycle. After having a male dog die from bone cancer caused by getting him neutered at an early age, my philosophy has changed on getting dogs "fixed". I am not going to advocate getting your dogs spayed or neutered for now, just let you know what i went through the last few weeks or so. You have three cycles. The first cycle is where you notice blood droplets, if you have wood or tile floors you may not notice it for a couple of days especially if you have brown or red tiles. It took me a couple of days to realize she was in heat. I did not notice any behavior changes. I started to put her on a long leash for walks ( normally I allow my dogs to run free which i know most of you think is wrong), but I really did not need to as I later found out that during the first cycle they will not get pregnant. The blood drops will change colour and become a lighter, milky like colour red. No real change in behaviour that i noticed, she was possibly drinking more water? The second cycle is a bit more exciting and if you are a prude i would suggest you stop reading. I have an 11-12 year old lab that is fixed and she was showing herself to him quite often, the old guy had some fun, for about a week, i assume she did as well, the only issue is sometimes they would get stuck for about 5 minutes or so after wards. I am sure plenty of you will have a lot of negative things to say about "allowing " this, but save your breath. ( or typing). During these two stages i did not have male dogs from miles away hanging around the yard, in fact not one. Nor at the cottage where we have a few wandering male dogs that i assume are not fixed and plenty of neighboring dogs which i assume are fixed? No noticeable smells either during any of the heat cycles, no real difference in behaviour outside of her showing herself to my male dog during the second cycle. She was not clamouring to get out, she was not running towards the door every time it was opened, none of the stuff that I had heard would happen did ( except for the blood spots and her being receptive to my male dog). By the end of the third week i had her off leash again and things were back to normal. It will be interesting to see if the two dogs behave any different towards each other then they did before this heat cycle happened? I assume dog sex is like homosexual sex in that you do not develop a bond with your sexual partner so it will probably not make a difference ( is that true Melissa? I was told you people do not have long lasting relationships? Or are those just lies like the ones you and your friends spew on these newsgroups? Oh and sorry for not spacing this out like a Dan Brown novel to make it easier for you to understand, but I tried to eliminate punctuation and big words which seemed to have you really,really,really confused before?) So from my experience sure you need to look after your dog a bit more if she is in heat, but the truth is it is not such a big deal to cope with. |

Old butt sniffer strikes me as the kind of guy who wouldn't be bothered at *all* by his dog breaking its penis. Who is Melissa and who is "you people"? Bigots tend not to have a particularly fast hold on facts, and aren't that bright to start with. I didn't find it to be a big deal either, but I wouldn't be as stupid as you are. Go figure. I've had a few intact dogs, male and female (have an intact male now, in fact). For me, on balance the disadvantages outweigh the advantages and the health risks associated with leaving them intact worry me a bit. Having an intact female running around trying to breed any male she comes across is a somewhat serious problem if you can't manage to keep them apart. I don't think it's that likely that something will go wrong, but if it does it goes very, very wrong. Stalker Guy is yet another inexperienced dog owner who's generalizing from a sample size of one intact bitch and, I guess, *two* *whole* *heat* *cycles*! Wow! I think the central question here is probably Stalker Guy's very obvious, very deep sexual anxieties being projected onto his dogs. -- Melinda Shore - Software longa, hardware brevis - Prouder than ever to be a member of the reality-based community |

Glad to see you and the retards were able to respond so quickly Melissa ( or are they all you?). You idiots really have no idea about anything do you? If nothing else you are predictable and stupid. Sorry if the story scared you so badly, more scars on an already screwed up psyche. It is incredible how you blind and maim your dogs and kill your roommate's cats and choke your dogs and who knows how many other ways you have mistreated and killed animals and you are outraged and scared by a story of dogs doing something which is quite normal? A broken penis??? Double the dose of your medications you delusional freaks. I assume wingnut is your real name. |

The males of many mammal species, including canines, have a "baculum" aka "os penis" - a small bone in the penis. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Os_penis Like any other bone, the os penis can get broken, and the most common cause of a fractured os penis is mating; for domestic dogs, this is most likely to occur if something goes wrong during the tie. And a fractured os penis, in addition to being painful, can be life-threatening if it lacerates and/or obstructs the urethra; even if it doesn't, it often requires surgery to correct. In some cases, the penis actually has to be amputated to enable the dog to urinate. http://cal.vet.upenn.edu/projects/sa..._33/33mast.htm - scroll down to "fractures of the os penis". |
