rottweiler

1.When will a rottweiler will start having her menstruation?

2.I have a 6 months and 12 days female rottweiler. last night she ate a lot of food and very active but this morning she doesn't want to eat and when I took a look at her stool, it has mucos like blood on it. She's not vomitting, her nose is wet. She's responding when you call her name but she'll just hold her head high, unlike before that she'll stand and is charging to jump on me. She has no fever. What do you think is her problem?

1) Depending on her stress level and such, she will have her first menstration between 6-9 months. It will last for about 2 weeks, but the first one may be irregular and be shorter or longer.

2) I would suggest an xam for her just to be safe. Is it possible that she got into something that she shouldn't have, like garbage? It is a concern that she doesn't want to eat. Make sure that she does not become dehydrated. If she starts vomiting take her to the vet ASAP as it could be an intestinal block and those are really dangerous. You can try withholding food for one day and then starting with small frequent meals of a bland diet and see how she takes that. If she stays lethargic I would be worried as well. A dog her age should be active and ready to go. Keep an eye on her stools to make sure they are normal. If they appear to be loose or have more blood in them take her in and get her looked at.

Bitches usually have their first season at about 8 or 9 months, but you should not notice anything different about her health/behaviour. If I were you I would take her to your vet. The blood would not be on her stools, you would notice it in spots on your floor or even as a bit of a discharge on her rear end. Her 'girlie bits' will become swollen and she will be licking herself a lot.
