honi

Question
This is my miniature jack Russell's first time in heat. She seems so out of sink what can we do to sooth her through this process. We plan to get her spayed next weekend.

Answer
I am not sure there is much to do at this time except watch her carefully.  The second and third weeks are when the most risk of accidental breeding is. Don't take this lightly. She will do anything to get loose and get to a male. Once loose, an accidental breeding and an unwanted litter is far from the worst that can happen. Such breedings can also result in fatal infections. She can get killed when she dashes heedlessly across the road in front of a car. Other dogs or coyotes may kill her.
