Some extra attention is needed for your unspayed female Yorkshire terrier when her heat cycle begins. Be prepared for her cute little personality to do an about face while she is in heat. Here are some facts you should know while your dog is experiencing her heat cycle.
Give her that extra attention while she is in heat especially if you have other dogs in the home.
Keep her eating schedule on a strict routine and reduce the amount of food during her heat cycle will help her feel a bit more comfortable. Be sure to increase her water intake in lieu of the reduced food.
Your female Yorkie will want to be exercised. To eliminate the male characters that might be hanging around your front door ready to take advantage, it would be a wise idea to take your Yorkie by car to an area that is remote. In doing this you will be eliminating a possible scent trail leading back to your front door.
If you're female Yorkshire terrier continues to be out of sorts exhibiting aggressive behavior, vomiting or diarrhea due to her hormone imbalances while in heat consult with your veterinarian by either calling or with a visit.
Of course if you are not planning on breeding your Yorkshire terrier you should consult with your vet's preferences as to the best time to have her spayed. Some vets tell people to let their dog experience one heat cycle or one litter first.
So now that you have some facts about female Yorkies in heat, I highly recommend you find out more information about training and caring for your precious small dog.
