Wanted to make quick post without starting a new thread but seeking some more guidance from you
@Ravenbird
Hope you're doing well - and had a Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year!!!
She went into heat for the second time on Oct. 17, 2021 and the last day of bleeding was Nov. 4th, 2021.
She has gone into another false pregnancy again, it looks like. Her teets are all swollen (see pic 3), the last four are saggy like in my previous pictures and there is milk production (I confirmed). No other behavior such as nesting, guarding or toy possession though. Temperament has remained the same with people, kids and other dogs, no hormonal weird aggression or anything going on. Eating has completely slowed down - we are at about 1-2 cups per day (if she eats).
I was hoping to get her fixed this month as now she is 19 months of age and avoided fixing her after the first heat due to a false pregnancy. It looks like she's just going to keep having them after heat cycles.
What are your thoughts? Should I wait until everything goes back to normal and then get it done? I don't want to do it too close to a heat cycle. I spoke with the breeder and he said take her to the vet and have them analyze whether you can get her fixed now or later but I'm afraid they're probably going to say to go through with the operation just because $$$.
Oh - also wanted to mention, she's remained the same weight. She hovers between 65-70 lbs (body pic attached).
Any advice is appreciated
Thank you!!!
