I searched for answers to this and could not find them, sorry if this is a repeat but I'm wondering how old your Hav was when she went into heat? My Hav has become EXTREMELY needy... I know with my Siberian she would get that way before going into heat.
They youngest one to come into heat at my house was 6 months but she was the exception. Most of mine have not had their first heat until they were around 9 months or older. How old is your little girl?
I want to wait until she has her first heat but her canine's aren't coming out and the new ones are coming in right next to them. I don't want her to be put under twice. Hoping they come out!
Addrian, is your breeder familiar with the dam and the sire? You can ask if your pup's family lines are known for retaining teeth. (I have one bitch that is born out of a family line that usually retains teeth and made sure to notify the puppy owners.)
Brandy, not always. There is definitely one group of dogs that need to have them removed by a vet. I think it is probably safe to assume that others need assistance as well. My bitch had two full sets of canines and plenty of chew treats before I found out that it was routine in her family to need veterinary assistance.
Being a Vet Nurse I have definetely pulled my fare share of retained baby teeth, but of course it's 9 out of 10 times done at 6 months when they are spayed or neutered to avoid having to put them under again. Who knows if they eventually would have come out on their own?? I know that it's not uncommon for them to retain and have to be pulled, but I everytime I think I might, the ol rawhides always do the trick and their teeth come in beautifully I guess I've just been lucky in that department. Kimberly, rember me talking to you about Trixie a while back and her retained tooth? I was on the brink of scheduling her appt. and hubby ran out and got some rawhides and the tooth was out before too long. :thumb:
Goldie came in on her 9 month birthday. I wont ever forget.. my little girl left and a space alien entered her body. She returned shortly. Maybe heat is like scientology?
ound:ound:ound:ound:Oh that's a good one Melissa. How would you like to have a female Hav in heat, a puppy boy named Romeo who lives up to his name and two 'tweens who are definitely showing the "signs"? Especially with the moodiness. They are exactly like space aliens, I don't recognize them at all. We had the big talk a few weeks ago and now they can't wait to grow their "womanly" parts. LOL
ok..stupid question of the day..but as Taylor is my first female dog and Capote is my first dog in general...can Taylor still go into heat if she's been spayed?? Please don't think I'm stupid..I really just don't know.. she's 7 months and nothings happened 'yet'..
..awesome..I don't even want to deal with that..lol
