PERIOD HELP -- LADIES ONLY!!!!!

Time to put her down....she had a good run!

Isn't that what groomers are for? Let them deal with it.

Bathing would be very dangerous. It might attract sharks.

Time to put her down....she had a good run!

She's only like 15 months old!

THIS IS WHY I PUT "LADIES ONLY"!!!

For the love of God do NOT take that person seriously and put your dog down!

Dogs have periods :-?

Maybe mix some cranberry juice into its water

i have always bathed my dogs whilst in heat and they have always been fine ,in fact some vets recommend it to help keep the smell away from dogs who may be" interested " lol glx

Give your dog a bath - it's ok. Lol. Women bathe while menstruating!

I gave my dog a bath, I just used a towel and then just washed the towel immediately after

I would put my doggy in a towel before I actually got her fixed.

They have diapers for dogs. You should check with the Pet stores or vets....

these are some of the funniest albeit unhelpful comments I have seen! Ok, I think you should be fine bathing her, maybe use an old towel you don't care about, if a little blood gets on it, so be it, just bleach the towel later. I know they make doggie diapers? Call your vet for advice I suggest!! good luck! I only have had boy doggies and they are all fixed, so I have little knowledge/experience, just from friends w/ females....

You shouldn't have any issues bathing her. I advice if you aren't gonna breed her, get her fixed. You don't need to put down a dog who is just having her heat session. That would be the stupidest thing I've ever heard of doing! Getting her fixed will save your carpets/clothes/furniture from getting ruined.

I don't know what you could do about drying. We have towels set aside specifically for the dogs bathes and they go in the washing machine right after use. Blood is easy to get out if its fresh.

My Mum used to just bathe her but she had her own towel and it was washed after every use.

As someone else said, we bathe when we are having a period, same principal, and Dogs are less likely to pounce on her as the 'odour' will not be as strong so some won't necessarily smell her.

when my dog was in heat, before she had puppies and we got her fixed, we put her in a doggie diaper! if you don't they learn to drag themselves across the carpet and floor and rub it all over the place...

You can definitely bathe her while she is in heat (which is what it is called). When she is bleeding, that is her pre-heat. She will be in full heat for about a week after she stops bleeding, so keep her away from males unless you plan on breeding her, which I recommend for you not to do at her age. She is a little young for that. If you do plan on breeding her, remember that it is a BIG responsibility and can be quite expensive and you have to feed her puppy food for the duration of her pregnancy. Also make sure that she doesn't get pregnant by a much larger dog, or there's a c-section in you future ($800-1000, depending on your location).

I HIGHLY recommend that you have her spayed, it is going to be better for her in the long run. The more heat cycles she has, the greater the chances of her getting mammary cancer later in life. Trust me, I've seen so many dogs have to have an entire mammary chain removal which isn't pretty (think about removing every nipple on one side of her body). Plus there is the chance that she can get pyometra, which is an infection in the uterus that can be life threatening and need an emergency ovariohysterectomy.

Good luck
