Just found the tell-tale sign dropped on the floor and suddenly worried that vet had conned me!
I've done a bit of tinternet searching and found this article http://vetmedicine.about.com/od/pregnancyreproduction/f/FAQ_spayheat.htm
and have calmed a little! Luna had the take ovaries and uterus job so pretty sure she won't get in the family way. Has anyone else experienced?
Luna had her first season at the beginning of Oct 2008 at the age of 5 and half months, very little bleeding and no swelling noticeable. She was then spayed at the beginning of Dec. I'm pretty sure that earlier this year she 'bled' - at the time I thought it was mud! because couldn't believe that it was blood and it was in the car where she lies muddy!!
If she is still 'having a cycle' it explains some of the extra cuddly behaviour she's had recently, explains the interest a couple of entire males were showing in her the other day and explains the territorial scratching she's been doing after toileting. All of this I hadn't jigsawed together until now!
I'm considering having a chat with vet to see if anything else is going on and to see if there is anyway of checking easily that she was spayed ok. I have no reason to think she has any sort of infection as the article above suggests.
I'm wondering now what the etiquette is! If she's not at risk of pregnancy do I walk her as normal and distract males from their owners?!
