For how many years does a Jack russell bitch stay in season

[Bambiagain]

Normally about three weeks at a time! However, if you are asking how long she will carry on having seasons, then quite possibly all her life, although it may be less obvious as she grows older.

Forever, you should get her spayed to avoid breast or womb cancer which is quite common in bitches that are not spayed.

she stays in season - like all dogs - for most of her life, however, if you get her spayed you stand a good chance of enjoying her company and loyalty for far longer than you would if she were not spayed. There are many complications an unspeyed bitch faces. google it and see.

Agree with riptide and rsvp - very sensible

[Yakattack]

Thank you, shes is now five and a half years old is this a problem when it comes to getting her spayed

Don't know for sure, but your vet will advise.

yakattack - there is always a small risk with any operation but modern anaesthetics are very sophisticated and safe - speak with your vet and discuss any worries you may have - btw - clap, clap, clap - sound of my applause for you thinking of the future of your bi#tch.

Thank you everyone for your help

Age is no problem with spaying, any very minor risks are there whatever the age. The sooner the better too, to prevent mammary tumours in later life or the risk of pyometra, which is a potentially fatal infection of the womb. Bitches will continue to come in season for as long as they are physically capable of reproducing.
