I want to get lola done b4 she goes into heat, i jst wanna know what age they get their frist season.

by **janey** Fri Jul 26 2013, 20:30

Average about 6 months, but it can be up to a year and sometimes earlier Xx

by Guest Fri Jul 26 2013, 20:31

Why do you want to get her done before her first season?

How old is she now?

by Hargar Fri Jul 26 2013, 20:39

Because i want to, ive read the topic on the subject and spoken to people and seen 1st hand the suffering my aunts staffy went through due to not being done.

A vet will do a spay assessment so that will help you.

by Guest Fri Jul 26 2013, 21:15

How old is she?

All bitches are different. The first season can be anything from 4 months to a year.

by Hargar Fri Jul 26 2013, 21:27

She will b 5 1/2 months when she gettin done.

by Guest Fri Jul 26 2013, 21:32

So why are you asking if you've already got it booked?

by **Sazzle** Fri Jul 26 2013, 21:35

I think it's best to wait until they've had at least one season preferably two. My sister's vet advised her to get Grace done before she had a season and she suffers with bladder problems which we believe may be linked to that Sad

I dnt have anyting booked yet!!!! The reason i ask is because i have a wedding the end of augest and cant afford them both so i am trying to hold out to get her done.

I'm confused - in the first quote you say she'll be 5 1/2 months when she's done, and in the 2nd quote you say you haven't booked her in.

My advice would be to let her have a season and go to the wedding. Health-wise, it's a much better option.

by Hargar Fri Jul 26 2013, 21:46

Thats what she will b when i plan to get her done.

by Guest Fri Jul 26 2013, 21:52

If she's about 4 months now, then she could theoretically come into season any time now, although the average is around 6 months.

If you can't afford it at the moment, then why not wait until after her first season & get her done then?

by **janey** Fri Jul 26 2013, 21:53

Than after the first season (whenever that is) you have to wait 3months after so its done between seasons Xx

by **Sazzle** Fri Jul 26 2013, 21:56

Yes that's what the vets told me because they can produce milk in that time.

by Guest Fri Jul 26 2013, 22:05

I appreciate that you want to do your best for Lola but honestly, a season is not THAT much agony for her Smile

I truly believe that a bitch should not be spayed until at least after her first season, when she is at most half-way mature.

At 5 1/2 months old, Lola is still a baby puppy and should allowed some growing room before she is spayed.

The poster has said it will be after the first season, all the info is there now Smile

No, Janey, he's referring to the age he intends to get her done, not the advice about waiting.

by DawnieB Tue Jul 30 2013, 16:11

My vet advised to allow one season then at least 8weeks after before spaying.

by **otisthestafford** Tue Jul 30 2013, 21:59

Unfortunately I cannot comment here from experience only from reading - but please do consider the option of letting your girl have her first season before having her spayed, there are many health benefits to waiting some of which have been mentioned. Also do discuss it with your vet so you can make a good informed decision for your dog.

Ours just had her first season @ 8 months but I thought it was advisable to wait until they are 18mths b4 being spayed is this not true?

by Guest Wed Jul 31 2013, 11:13

I'd always advise, wherever possible, to wait for full mental & physical maturity. For a Stafford that's about 2 years old.

by Guest Wed Jul 31 2013, 14:21

My vet adises before the first season , I chose to take the advice of my learned friends on here , Tilly was neutered 3 months after her 2nd season and was late with her first season at about 10 months so around the age of 19 months , I'm really pleased I did wait as she is a beautiful well balanced dog with no problems at all that we are aware of . Sure she looked uncomfortable on her first season and there was a bit of mess ( many more cuddles ) on her 2nd season she was even more peculiar and picked up a small water infection . But on balance I am 100% certain we did the right thing for her
