and she has free access to a room with a carpet and a chair she sleeps on. There is no way to block it off without buying a huge divider which I'd really prefer not to do. Any advice?? Yippee now i can get her spayed in the fall. |

I'd put down some sheets or old towels to protect the carpet and furniture. Maybe the towel will be an invitation and she'll sleep on it? Good luck!

good idea, I can throw a towel on the chair. she doesn't spent too much time in there, but when we watch TV she will always be there... interesting that she just came back on Saturday from her breeders where she spent a week while we were away. Hopefully we won't have puppies coming! |

Now that would be a big surprise!! I've never owned a bitch so I really can't say I know what the *mess* might entail for a bitch Trixie's size. I was at a dog show last month and sat ringside next to a guy with a Great Dane bitch (6 months) who was bleeding all over the place. Ick!! Good thing we left our dogs in our setup area. If you have a chance tomorrow, I might look into those doggy panties if you think she'll keep them on. Seems like a much easier way than sheets & towels. But I don't know how long it is a problem....a few hours? a few days? If more than a day it is probably worth investing in a pair.....think you can get them at PetSmart.

oh yeah, traveling to petco tomorrow for sure! I agree, have no real idea how bad it will be but the bleeding just started about 30 minutes ago and there are 5-6 big bloody patches on my rug and chair lovely! |

Umm.. your breeder would fall under the "Extremely irresponsible" category if that were the case! Just don't forget that they can get pregnant after they stop bleeding. This is a good read about the 4 stages of heat cycles: http://www.askabreeder.com/Dog_Heat_Signs_and_Symptoms I'd just stick a diaper on her, that's what all my breeder friends do when their bitches are in heat. That way she can have full access to the house and you don't have to worry about her bleeding everywhere. |

well she is never off lease because I don't have my invisible fence working (and won't until she is spayed)...so I'm not worried about her getting pregnant here. Just need to get through this and spay the ol girl

My sisters boxer didn't make much mess at all - guess we got lucky. She was also spayed fairly early i think but I don't know the exact details. Best of luck - and i'd definatley do the doggie diapers. We have some free depends here I can send you that my brother had sent to the house for my sister and i. hahaha. He's so sweet. |
