Her first heat and not sure....

Our Bella just started her first heat and we just wanted to ask everyone for some basic tips. We are using liners inside panties which work ok. I would just like some basic info that anyone would like to share with experiences that have had with there bullie.

one lady suggested once

some lady suggested once to use the dog diapers or the washable diaper but because bulldogs are built so strange and the diapers wasnt fitting or was moving all the times, she was using suspenders ! when my female was in heat i try to look but i didnt find suspenders anywhere! anyway my female first heat lasted like 18 days ...and the second heat came after 7 months and lasted 2 weeks or so...but you can never tell...yes is good to keep record. my female was in good humor though so good luck!

Her first heat

I tried that but they kept slipping off. I bought her pull-ups and they are Pink so look cute. She is not clean though. I have to clean her kennel often she just seems like she has no clue about her heat yet. My baby girl..seems so soon.

Her first heat..

Ok will keep that all in mind. She is doing well and is such a happy dog. She is kinda not too happy about wearing pullups but she is doing ok with them. She is inside except for when she needs to go out and potty. I can hear the howlling but have not seen any dogs around. Bruno is doing a good job of keeping away from her but we have seperated and she sleeps in her kennel. They take turns.

I found...

That just having two sets of panties worked better for me than using the liners. The liners kept slipping out of place, and my girl chewed on one. While one was in the wash, I used the other. I didn't leave them on in the crate - my girl kept things clean in the crate herself. happy.gif

Some dos and donts

Yes: keep track of her starting date so you can time the next one, for preparation, scheduling your vacation, tracking her if you intend to breed on 3rd heat, etc.
Yes: keep her clean, and she can have a bath during her discharge, using normal precautions to avoid chill, etc.
Yes: keep her away from all males (no matter the size/breed of dog) once she starts discharge, and for the entire three weeks!!!
Yes: dogs can leap your fence or dig underneath to get to the strong odor of a bitch in heat so don't allow her outside unattended, and best not to walk her at all but if you must, carry a baseball bat and do it when other dogs aren't out, perhaps before 7am and after 9pm?
Yes: some bitches do feel "cramps" and have some cranky disposition during all or part of their cycle so be sensitive to that possibility...humor her a bit.

NO: she can still get accidentally impregnated by a male dog even if its not the optimal time because sperm can live 48hrs internally so don't think its only a certain few days!
NO: if this is her first heat, you can't be sure exactly how long it will be until her next. Some family history may be helpful but not an exact pattern.
