Hello, I have a few questions about my 6 month old puppy.
Rosie went "into season" at 5 months. ?? We weren't expecting to get her spayed until 6-8 months because we didn't expect her to go into heat before then. I called the breeder and she said that it was very early and has never had a dog go into heat before 7 months. She said that her dogs usually go into heat much later. Should I be concerned?
A few weeks ago Rosie got very excited when a friend came over and when she jumped up (like a circus dog) she fell down hard on wood floors on her hind leg. She limped a bit and it seemed a bit sore when she'd sleep on it, but didn't favor it. Yesterday, she slipped off the couch when my children took their eyes off of her and there was a library book on the edge of the couch that made it slippery for her. Eeek. We were so scared and we took her to the vet right away. She checked out okay (hips and knees did not feel luxated and her patellas were in the right place) and came home with pain meds and orders to not walk, jump, or run. She is still not putting any weight on it. We are very concerned. We're giving her lots of TLC and we're carrying her out to do her business. Has this happened to anyone's pup?
TIA!
