Spayd Staffordshire Bull terrier

[nathanrichar]

Hi All, i have recently had my 7Month opld Staffie spayd and after a fortnight and her stiches were removed i resumed exersising and toook her on a hill climb(which she loves and really enjoyed herself she didnt stop for two hours). Later that evening she bled from her vagina is this nornmal as she was actually on season when i had her spayd or have i over excelled her????

[lankeela]

What is your vet saying? Personally I would have thought a gradual return to exercise would be obvious, although a two hour hike for a seven month old puppy is far too much anyway.

She is an extremly active dog!! and just sleeps if she dosnt go out, it wasnt the first time she had been out that was the longest since her op

[nathanrichar]

My vet said just to keep an eye on her as she OBVIOUSLY has nowhere to Heamorage from and that it may just be the last of her season coming out now she has healed as she was in season when she was done !and the exersize was fine

Would you expect a toddler to walk for 2 hours?

Becareful overexercising your dog, to much could cause you problems later on, her bones are still growing.

Hi Joanne i know what your saying but the vet told me i need to take her out everday for up to 40 mins twice a day, gosh dont get me wrong she di rest :) Yvonne my msn is [email protected] if you liketo msn me :) i cud do with a proper chat about staffies(ni woukd apreciate it

[lankeela]

40 minutes twice a day is a bit different to two hours in one go!

ARE YOU A VET OR AT LEAST QUALIFIED IN THIS DEPARTMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MY Dog is fine she's been to the vet she's just coming out of season which they do,as she was in season when she was spayed just like us theres always risidual tofcome out of her(Better out than in)and he said there is no harm in the walks she does the more the better. She did rest ................................................................................

What lankeela is trying to say is that normally with young dogs that could still be growning then you do not walk for long periods of time with them 10 or 15 mins up and down the street is about right so that you do not cause problems with bone growth, but with smaller breeds of dog this may not be true as they mature faster, I have a weimararner which is a large breed and he had restricted exsercise when he was a pupster. also normally with humans and dogs restricted movement for 6 weeks is reccommended to allow for proper healing so lead walking around a flat field for around 40 mins should be ok but no off lead running around. Also vets normally don't spay when a bitch is in season they tend to do it 2-3 months after to let everything do back to normal. why did your vet spay during the season? also if she has been spayed then there should be no residual season to come out as she no longer has any womb for womb lining to come out of. I do not want to dispute what is happening to your dog and I'm sure your vet knows what they are dong but this is a very interesting case I will have to have a word with my boss about this one he is a vet at Bristol vet school langford.
I do hope your little girl is ok and that this is nothing serious :-)

Hi Clair. Thankyou, sorry if i sound a bit abrupt but i was worried and didnt like the way lankeela was speaking :( My dog is a large pup for her age i love her to bits and would never do anythinkg to harm or hurt her. Shd hates being in the house and sleeps all tim if she is which isnt good for her either. I have had plenty of advice from vets and where i actually bought her from. I only came on here for a second opinion, my freind is a vetinary nurse.

[clair3934]

I understand you being worried, but the advice on here is very good. Problem is sometimes people come across as being quite abrupt when they don't really mean to, I think it's cause they've heard it all so many times before on here and get fed up typing the same things over and over again. I do hope she is ok now, but could you tell me why your vet spayed her while she was in season instead of waiting? I'm really interested I'm not judging incase you are wondering, it's just I've never heard of it being done like this, I'm sure theres a good reason for it I would just like to know what that is.
