What do you do when your dog is having her...

My sweet little queen of the home, we call her 'ruby'. She has a really luxurious life in home except a two or three days a while. That is when she has her periods. My mother says a strict 'NO' and ties her out, though I let her inside for sometime in a day... just to roam for a few minutes else she gets restless and starts pulling at the chain... the floor does get stained but my mother cleans it off, with a little scolding at me though :lol:

Why have you not had this dog neutered? No one should have an unmeutered pet, the chance that she will breed is just to much, all it will take is 15 mins inattention and you will be expecting puppies. We don't need more dogs in the world. You say she is never exposed to a male, well you maybe right but my experience tells me nature will find a way. I do think that there are birth control pills for dogs, but don't know much about them.

Have her spayed. That would solve the problem once and for all.

Hi lavender, as you say most people have their female dogs spayed but that in our home is against TOS :lol: No one in the home would let that happen. It was decided when she took her as a puppy that not a blade will touch her :) Especially my mom... she is very protective and considerate about her, more than anyone of us are.

Well, then I guess you just put up with it. I am a proponent of the surgery because it prevents overpopulation AND many health problems. Repeated heat cycles can subject the reproductive system to uterine and mammary cancers as a female dog ages. Some females can also experience false pregnancies that can be difficult to deal with and uterine infections that are fatal. As long as you've educated yourself on both sides, I guess you've got your answer!

i used to put baby diapers on my late pets. just cut a little hole in the back of the diaper for the tail to stick out of it. and do this for three days until the period finish. it works. and my pets are all indoors. they never lived outside.

The poor dog is being scolded and punished for something that she had no control over. You should just have her spayed and quit punishing her.

No friend no one scolds or punishes her, my mom only keeps her outside so that the floor and other things in the house don't get stained. And as for spaying, no one would let a blade touch her, I would be the first up against :)
