Laurena Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 It's really strange , Heidi's two and was spayed at five months but recently male dogs have been going crazy over her like she's in heat . She's constantly being mounted by males at the park . We've had dogs that had to be leashed and literally dragged away from her . I've been asked many times if she's in season . So what's up with that ? Why are males going nuts over my SPAYED female ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSnappy Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 I'd consider taking her to the vet for a hormone test. It could be ovarian remnants, it could be a hormonal imbalance, it could be all sorts of things I'd probably want the vet to diagnose.

juliepoudrier Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 I had someone mention to me that even a bladder infection might elicit such a response from male dogs to a spayed female. I agree with RDM that a vet visit might be in order. J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbc1963 Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 FWIW, I once played with a female in heat when I was a kid, and got the same reaction from male dogs as your girl is getting. EEEEKK! Does your dog by any chance have a friend in heat she romps with? Mary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurena Posted May 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 I guess I should have been a little more descriptive , it's not all male dogs that go after her . We live with two male dogs that are neutered mind you and neither have displayed any interest in her , nor has my friends uneutered show golden retriever who mounts just about anything . It's just in the past couple weeks we've had several males go after her . Wouldn't I notice any other symptoms ? She's a perfectly healthy little dog , nothing has changed other than we've had a influx of males going after her . I'll book an appointment for the vet to see her . Thanks . eta . Nope , no unspayed female friends . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyoBC Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 I have no idea why they would be doing that. But now I want to know why I'll be looking forward to see what the vet says. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotobridget Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Ah yes--been there, done that! I couldn't figure out what was going on with Liberty. I'd had her spayed three months earlier, so when unaltered Justice started going nuts, I was mad. I thought the vet had missed something (highly unlikely, the man's been doing his job for thirty years!) so off we went. It was a bladder infection--which also explained why we had a few tinkles before she could get outside. We put her on a ten day course of ampicillin?? and she cleared up. It took almost a week though, before Justice calmed down. Since then she's had a second bladder infection, which we caught earlier. Poor little thing has a compromised immune system and is always having something go wrong. Has your dog had any little 'puddles' recently? If she has, I'd bet anything it was a bladder infection. Let us know what the vet says! Love from Liberty and Justice ForAll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweet_ceana Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Any word on Heidi's attraction issues? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
painted_ponies Posted June 1, 2008 Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 When I showed chows, we always assumed an out-of-season bitch who attrracted dogs had a vaginal infection and treated accordingly. I never noticed any other symptom, although I had a friend who said she thought such girls smelled like dead fish. I was a heavy smoker at the time, so maybe they did smell bad and I didn't notice.
