My 9 month old Lola went into heat 2 weeks ago. She is doing great! We've been keeping a keen eye on her; gates shut and locked, never alone, and her Lab "sister" keeping guard over her.
Lola definitely is more, not needy, but cuddly. We decided to wait until after her first season to let her hormones mature and everything to figure itself out... Based on information from our breeder as well as this site (we had our Lab fixed at 6 months though).
I've had several other dogs in heat before (all Labs though) but it just seemed so different than the Cavalier for some reason. Lola's Vajayjay is very swollen(normal) As well, her nipples are very large (which I don't remember from my other dogs). Will her nipples reduce in size after heat, or is this permanent from the hormone change?
Lola is scheduled to be fixed the end of July (went into heat the last of may), do you think that's enough time, or should I push it back a little while?
