Thread: Female Puppy First Heat

Sorry about the late response. If she has not gone into heat yet, then you can spay her now. But if you want to wait after her first heat then wait about 3 months after her heat before spaying her. There is really nothing you need to do for her. You might want to get some diapers for her to wear, but sometimes they are hard to keep on her. If no diapers then you will want to keep her crated most of the time, or put her in a room without carpet so it will be easier to clean. I would keep the males away from her, even though they are neutered, just to keep them off her. If you have any other questions about this just let us know. I hope this helps.

With our Boxer, we bought her little panties and used a ... ahem.... kotex pad... I can't remember if that is what was recommended to us at the time. That was 15 years ago and I can't remember that far back.... I've heard, and again, I'm no expert, that it's better for her to go through the first heat..... again, don't take my word for it. Ask your vet. But, yeah, if you are going to let her go through her first heat, then you definitely need to be prepared.

By the way, at what age do Frenchie females get their first heat??

That is the only reason we may wait to spay her is because I have read that having them go through their first heat can be beneficial. I definitely need to so more research though. Also I read that frenchies can go through their first heat any where from 7-9 months old.
My biggest concern is our males and how they will react. I don't think they have ever been around a female in heat. Not sure if we will be able to keep them separated so we may have to see about spaying her ahead of time...

I agree completely with the above posters. I think males will react the same whether they are fixed or not, and it can be quite stressful for them.
