Not Coming Into Heat in Dogs

Hello my dog is 5 years old this year and we've had her since she was 2. She typically goes into heat every six months give or take a day or two. This last cycle started about a month or two later than usual. What could be the cause of this? She's now been in heat for the last week or so and everything has been normal. Should i be concerned that she was a bit late or can that happen?

Hello
I have two sibling sisters who are 20 months old, they are chocolate Labradors and are in great condition.I have just acquired these dogs a few months ago and within a few days one of them started her heat cycle, the previous owner said that both the dogs had their first cycle at 12 months of age and they came in about a week apart, but this time the second dog has had no cycle. What could be the problem?

we had a female bichon that cycled we put our male in,and one week before she is due we determine she wasnt breed,witch was our fault for over use of one male,however is there safe and effective ways to induse a heat cycle with medications or natural reemedys.I recently got out of dairy buisness and we used lutilyse to induse a heat cycle in cattle,can it be used on dogs.Last quistion do they use cedars on dogs

My bull mastiff x husky hasn't come into heat or shown any signs not sure if it's a silent heat or not. But my male dog all he wants to do is hump her constantly and when he gets close to her he trys to lick back end. But she keeps getting aggressive towards him.

Hello. I have an English Cream Golden who had a successful litter of 11 pups at the age of 2 1/2. We kept one of her pups from this litter. She had another heat cycle roughly 8 months later (which was normal) but unfortunately has not had another cycle since then. We were hoping to breed her again and were waiting at least a full year after her first litter. Her heat cycles were very evident while occurring. Swollen, blood etc. etc. I am with my dogs all day everyday and I check her for signs almost daily. She has no health problems, sees our vet routinely for vaccinations and eats a very high quality food. I have lost faith in our vet due to misdiagnosis of our pup from that litter. One pup had a simple uti and he insisted she had ectopic ureter issues and we spent thousands of dollars and had many sleepless nights, all for nothing. He just wouldn't listen and focused on her ireters for no reason. Just an explanation of why I don't trust my vet. In process of finding another vet I can trust. Anyway, could you please advise as to what direction we should head? Thank you so very much for taking the time to answer.

My dog is 2 years old. She started her heat two weeks ago and brought out little blood then later she stopped the bringing out of blood. But her vulva is still swollen

Hello, My dog is 9 months old and still didnt come into heat. Could a first Heat be a silent heat? Is that possible? My male dog tries to hump her but she keeps on running away. We had her since she was 7 weeks old. What I’m asking is if she could’ve went into silent heat and if a silent heat can be a dogs first heat? Also, is it better to fix a male or a female dog? Thanks!

My dog is 2 1/2 yrs old siberian husky. She is small for her breed. She had her 1st heat when she was around 11 month and another about 8 months later. She has not had one since. I thought the last time she had a silent heathe. She had the personality change. Slightly swollen, but no bleeding just a few drops of a clearer secretion. Now she is having similar symptoms but no swelling at all. One person said her dog food may contain steroids I wasn't aware of. I am not planning on breeding her because of her size. She is full of energy but is shying away from her food.

My Olde English Bulldog puppy had her first season at just 6 months, she's now 18m and not had a second season yet. She's a little large around her vulva but not bled at all. Any thoughts? I realise they can be irregular until full matured. She's in perfect health btw.

Hello, I have a year and half medium golden doodle. She went into heat several months ago and everything seemed normal. Then, she started to go into heat (we thought) because our male was starting to behave as tho she were. He still follows her smelling her and occasionally humping but nothing like last time. And even that seems to be tapperig off. Could something be wrong?

My 3 years old vizsla had first heat at age of a year, second heat 10 months later, but now is already 11 months from the last time she was in heat and she shows no signs. should I start worrying?

Hi I adopted a female rottweiler and she is now 3 and half year old. She is not come on heat from last 2 years and I'm consult a veterinarian and he was injected hormones to her but still she is not come on heat. And now I'm loosing hope that she'll ever come on heat.

My female pomeranian is going to be 4yrs old in October. We've jst noticed shes never gone into heat. Around the time we got her we had a death in the family that threw us all into a depression. She never lacked care but we just never noticed that she never went into heat. I have had many people ask if I would like to breed her, Which I really would. And it has got me thinking about her cycle and how shes never had one. She has no other medical issues and has been living an easy life. Is this aomething to be worried about? She was the runt of the litter. Could that be a reason?

My Mini/Toy Aussie is 10 months old and has still not come in to heat, she doesn’t seem to have had any silent heats, based on our other males behavior but I’m not for sure. She was the runt of the litter and is small for a mini (about 12in tall) but nothing else seems to be wrong. What should I do? Is it normal for a heat to be this late for a dog this small?

I have a pug that’s 1 year and 3 mths old and she had her first season around 9 mths old then had her second season at 21 mths old which was a split season, she bled for three days stopped for a week than continued for the 28 days as normal, I did mate her at this point but she didn’t take. Now I’m waiting for her third season to come anytime soon... should I be concerned about her and get her checked with the vet, all in all she is a good healthy weight and has no other health issues

My dog Sugar hasn't been in heat yet the last time was approximately around September 2017 and she usually has it around every 6 months give or take a few days,she is about 12 yrs old. .should I be worried

My Great Dane Bitch has come into her heat cycle on the 1st of February and the 1st of August. Like clockwork. I've been breeding since 1988 and have never had a bitch as regular as this. This month she has not shown any signs of coming in season. I understand that as they get older their cycles start to change.
She is not showing any signs of distress, lethargy or general malaise. I'm a bit of a worrier and plan to make a vet appointment for a spay opposed to the AI I had been planning.
She had been seen by a vet and he said there was no health reason not to breed her. I've had several successes breeding older Dane bitches (9-13 in litters). Sorry to be long winded. HERE'S THE QUESTION: Is there a possibility I am seeing the very beginning of a closed pyometra ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi, my 2 years old chihuahua have not gone on heat for near 10 months. She has a stomach surgery 2 months back for ingesting foreign bodies resulting in blockage. Is that why she hasn't got her period?

Hi I have an almost 18 month old female rottweiler that has not gone into heat yet. I have never had this happen before with my other female rottweilers. Should I be concerned? If so, what should I do? If not, when should I start being concerned and what age should she definitely have a cycle by? Thanks so much!

I have a female Shepherd who will be 2yrs old on March 1st. She had her 1st heat cycle Dec 30th of 2016 & has not come into her second heat as of yet. I've witnessed some light vommiting & she now has runny stools, also looks like she's losing weight. She acts perky and fine otherwise. She's a picky eater as well. I've had her on Diamond Naturals- Adult Beef formula for a year now. Please, any advice?

My female Caucasian got pregnant but had a premature birth and ever since for like 8 months now she has not been on heat. I have a male dog around so if it’s a silent heat I’ll know. Though she had a premature birth because my vet gave her a deworming drug when she was ill during pregnancy. You have any idea why she hasn’t been on heat yet?

I have an almost 11 month old German shepherd. She has not come into heat yet should I be concerned? She also has had 2 UTIs could this be a reason? She eats Eukanuba Large breed puppy which is 26% protein. Our vet wants us to go to vegetarian Natural Balance which is only 18% protein wouldn't that hurt her?

my female German shepherd has not come in heat, she had her first cycle and i had her injected to prevent unwanted pregnancies but now she has not cycled again am worried the injection may have something to do with it

My miniature dachshund turned one on August 29 2018, she still has not come into heat and it’s very concerning to me. I do not plan on breeding her I have been saving up to get her spayed. Not sure if this is relevant but she is on grain free food because she seems to always have dry patches and small patches of air loss when she has something that isn’t grain free.

I have a dog named Temmy and she’s 5-6 years old but the strange thing is she haven’t been going into heat for two years already. My family is planning to breed her but we couldn’t if she’s not in heat. Her heat cycle was all normal before but it stopped around 2 years ago. Not sure why it happened. I used to buy physiological pants for her but she’s not having her heat cycle. I’m not sure if it’s a silent heat or not. Also, I bought her a stick looking squeeze toy when she was younger, and I always see her thrusting her hips into the toy, is that normal? And please help me I need to know why she stopped her heat two years ago and it’s not coming back...

My Pitbull Is One Year & 8 Months Old. She’s Been In Heat & Hasn’t Bled Once. Should I Be Worried About Any Of The Things Listed? I Really Need To Know. Because Shouldnt They Have Bled At 6 Months? Vet?

I have a 10.5 month old McNab stock dog. She's ~37 lbs. She has not had her first heat yet as best as I can tell. In the description you guys mention that large/giant breeds may not go into heat for two years, but at what point is it concerning for a medium sized dog? I also have an intact male around, so I am assuming that if she had a silent heat he would have let me know, and that she has not gone into heat at all.

We have a 12 month old female Boykin Spaniel. She is a very active dog and gets a tremendous amount of exercise. He is a hunting and retriever. But is above all the love of our life. She’s the kind of dog that can go from work mode then into a loving family dog. I am worried because she has not come into heat or has not showed any kind of symptoms. Should we be concerned?

I have my one year and half old german shepherd naned Pauli. And im wondering if i should be concerned that she hasnt got on heat by now her sister got on heat 2months ago?

My American Bully is about 6 years of age. She had 2 litters. Her last time coming into heat was October 2017. We expected her to come back into heat April 2018 and she hasn’t yet. In the beginning of the month her vulva was swollen but still never noticed a heat cycle. Any ideas?

My German Shepherd has never been bred before and her cycles have always been every six months. Her last heat cycle was the second week of February, 2018. I was expecting her next heat the second week of August, 2018. However, come that time, she showed signs of a swollen vulva and excessive licking of that area. No other symptoms occurred and after checking her daily, there was never any sign of discharge. It was like she never fully went into heat. All symptoms ceased and on August 17th and 18th I introduced her to the male dog she would breed with. Their behavior was comfortable and non aggressive within five minutes of first introduction and flirtatious behavior consisted of sniffing the rear ends which my female did not allow the male do to her. A week after their last meeting my dog began to show signs of a swollen vulva and more excessive licking yet still no discharge. It is now nearly September and no signs of bleeding or other discharge. She is a healthy dog fed high quality food and receives plenty of love and exercise. Should I wait until the eight month mark to see if her heat cycle is just late or should I have an examination done by the vet sooner?
