Lettie is 11 months old. We *think* we might be seeing signs of her going into heat. This is going to be both of our first experiences with a dog in heat. We are also “those” people, crazy about our girl and hyper-sensitive to any changes with her.... so it might just be in our heads . I have googled the symptoms but I know from being on this forum that you people are the ones with the real-world knowledge. Are we crazy? Does anyone else have little signs that appear before the heat cycle?
We think her vulva might be a tiny bit swollen. Her nipples have always been tiny, flat and hard to find. They are now getting harder and a little bigger? She is licking herself more the last couple days. I have also noticed a little white discharge from her vulva. She has also been a little more whiney and clingy.
She has a recessed vulva and she is prone to UTIs. So we are planning on NOT using the doggy diapers. We are going to get her some men’s boxers and put them on backwards. Our house is carpeted and I’m wondering if anyone has suggestions on how to keep it clean? We really don’t want to keep her locked up in the kitchen if we don’t have to
