Hope you don't mind me asking a few questions in this part of LF
It's not regarding Bailey (she is spayed) but regarding a 5 year old bitch that we are in the process of rehoming (thread about it: http://www.labradorforums.co.uk/ftopict-64768.html)
She had pups approx 6 weeks ago, and has just been separated from them at the dogs home, and obviously still has milk and a saggy tum
It was quite a large litter
I don't know if she has ever had a litter previously but the info the dogs home suggests that she hasn't....this litter is her first
She is not overweight but more of a stocky build than Bailey is
I'm just wondering how long a saggy tum takes to bounce back usually?? And (I know this may sound like a silly question) does exercise help with this?
Also, how long would you suggest before she is spayed?? I asked this question at the home and they said at least 12 weeks after the birth, so in about another 6 weeks time.....I'm in no rush to do this though as it is going to take time to settle her in etc but it is something that we will do once she is ready.....I just wanted some other opinions on this really
Thanks in advance
