: Hi Ladies,
:
: my puppy boxer is on her first cycle, but I
: had another female before her for 18 yrs.
: The period lasts for around 3 weeks, and
: with exception of a couple of breeds, it
: comes every 6 months or so. They do become
: sluggish, and the average goes through a
: stage of willingness. That is when u need to
: watch them closely. Good luck with the
: constant floor mopping

: I have a female shih tzu and have found the
: same thing. But, not only is she sluggish,
: but she's also snappish about food around
: that time. 2 questions- do you have any
: info on keeping your house clean during that
: time, and how many times a year this will
: come about?

: Hey Joanne, I just "inherited" a
: female dog about 2 weeks ago and 3 days
: after we got her she went into heat. At
: first I thought she was bleeding from a cut,
: as she wasn't displaying any odd behaviors,
: but after looking her over and finding no
: outward signs of hurt, I came to the
: conclusion that it had to be her cycle. I'm
: new to this too (as I've had cats all my
: life), and from the sites I've checked out
: so far, it looks like this stage lasts about
: 3 weeks. My dog has been sleeping much of
: the time as well, so I would hazard a guess
: that this is fairly normal (think of how you
: feel when it's "that time of the
: month"!) ;-) If you're worried, you
: can always call the vet and ask them a few
: questions to make sure...
