    |
|
Me again need some advice please.
Ruby is on day 16 of her season and seems to be very very nearly finished all swelling gone down hardly any blood at all and she isnt cleaning all the time anymore. It has changed colour and got darker too is that ok (pyo stress panic  )
She did the stopping bleeding on day 7 for 2 days then started again so I assume that was the ovulation.
Appetite all back to normal not whiny clingy or wanting to go clubbing for boyfriend.
Soooooooo should I still assume she is in season for the whole 28 days?
Whadda ya all think?

Hmmm - Di can answer this I am sure. The reason I waited two weeks was because Millie was swollen all the way though and was still being a tart til the end. I just didn't want to risk it. Guess it was easier for me too as Doobs told me that she was still ravenous throughout the four weeks!!!!

I`d err on the side of caution Vicky and assume Ruby is still in full season, she`ll still have that "Come and get me big boy" scent on her thats for sure!!

Hi Vicky.
What colour is it? The worrying colour is a distinctly dirty brown colour rather than the bloody red colour.
What is she like drinking? This often increases when in season and also tends to increase with Pyometra so is not easy to tell what's "Normal" and what's worrying.
I take it there is no sickness?
How does she appear in herself? A dog with Pyo normally rather subdued, but again, unfortunately this could also be said about many bitches in season.
Usually what happens is that an infection manages to get inside when the vulva is open, during a season, but does not really get a hold until after the season is over. So this would be rather early, but not impossible.
Sorry Vicky, it's all a little inconclusive, but I think in this case I would air on the side of caution. I know it will almost certainly be a wasted expense but I'm a little concerned about the discharge starting again. The first thing a vet would do is take her temprature. Normaly high with Pyometra. This would give him a pretty sure fire answer straight off.
Regards, John
