AnswerDear Gillian,
I have known this to happen twice before and both times in later years there was a problem. I would take her to a specialist in this area and have her checked out. Also, periodically do a BUN blood test on her to check her kidneys.
Sometimes a hormone shot will correct this condition. They also have shots that can be given to try and get her to come into heat.
I hope this helps. If you are in the country, get a vet that knows about breeding animals,, if in the city you can get a specialist.
