Jumbo chilli Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Hi, everyone! I have a 8 months old chihuahua and it is having first heat. The problem is she seems lost her appetite and has stopped eating since last night. Besides she's started vomiting, diarrhoea from this morning. My wife says it's just because "she is in her first heat". Any advice? thanks in advance- J.C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BambinA Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 its normal , when some dog/cat/pets have heat and lost appettute.. it was from 1 homonoal changes 2 she just want to "go out" for XXX , makes she get upset and does not want to do anything ..(even eat) dont worry .. ps, about vomit 'n diarrhea must happend from other cause ..

Jumbo chilli Posted January 4, 2006 Author Share Posted January 4, 2006 Thanks Bambi. So, you mean being inactive( but sexually active ) is quite normal for dogs in heat? She vomits whatever thing she swallows. Should I take her to nearest vet?-she still wags her tiny tail everytime her name is called. JC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BambinA Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Thanks Bambi.So, you mean being inactive( but sexually active ) is quite normal for dogs in heat? its correct ... its common question that i always get when the owner start to worry when thier dog lost of appettite during estrus cycle She vomits whatever thing she swallows. whats kind of thing she throw up? if its food and happend after eat ..we call "regurgitation" ..happend when dog eat so fast , and/or more activities after eat (other cause for example, esophagus prob..etc) Should I take her to nearest vet?-she still wags her tiny tail everytime her name is called. emm ..maybe u'd wait and see for few days.. in my opinion.. i think she is fine JC <{POST_SNAPBACK}> well im off clinic now.. just finish to remove masses from dog i will check this thread later when i get online at home please dont worry much ja.. ..and if u have any prob ,u can ask me anytime ciao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumbo chilli Posted January 5, 2006 Author Share Posted January 5, 2006 Hi Bambi! I guess she( bitch) is getting through her first heat and doing a lot better than yesterday. She started walking and sniffing around my house-stopped vomiting and gaining her appetite(apparently). Well.., I guess she's going to make it. My wife and I were pretty much worried and thought about taking her to vet. Without your advise it would have been harder waiting morning to come so we could take her to the vet. This very moment she is sitting under my computer chair and taking a nap! Thanks again JC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
