What are the symptoms of a female dog in heat?
Some friends asked in the forum: "How can I tell whether my female dog is in estrus?" In fact, it is very easy to know when a female dog is in estrus. The following phenomena are the symptoms of a female dog in estrus, including:
1. The female dog’s vulva will be swollen;
2. The female dog begins to lick her reproductive organs frequently;
3. It will be more interested in getting close to male dogs;
4. Female dogs will emit odor when they are in heat, so many male dogs will gather outside the house;
5. Behavioral changes: For example, the bitch’s excitability increases, her activity increases, she becomes restless, she barks loudly, her appetite decreases, she urinates frequently, and she raises her tail and arches her back;
The symptom of a female dog in estrus is that her vulva will swell, so you can judge the degree of estrus in your dog based on the swelling of her vulva. However, some female dogs will not bleed or swell in their vulva when they are in estrus. At this time, they can only be judged by their behavior.
Warm reminder:
1. Dog owners are particularly reminded that vaccinations should not be administered during pregnancy, as this may harm the unborn baby.
2. Dogs’ estrus is divided into two types: “bloody estrus” and “bloodless estrus”. Most dog owners only know that a dog's vaginal bleeding is in heat, but there are a few dogs that do not bleed when in heat. So you have to judge which type of estrus it is based on the dog’s behavior and physiological changes.
