I believe that many pet owners with experience in raising dogs will also have a headache when faced with a dog in heat! Because dogs at this stage are difficult to manage and very troublesome to take care of. So how should a novice take care of a dog in heat? Also, will a dog’s appetite become bad when it’s in heat? Let’s find out together.
The appetite of dogs will be greatly reduced after they are in estrus. Owners need to improve their dogs' diet and feed them some probiotics to promote their digestion and increase their appetite.
Not only that, male dogs will become highly aggressive during estrus, will mark out their territories to attract the opposite sex, and suffer from severe mood swings. When a female dog is in estrus, her activity time will increase, her vagina will swell, red mucus with blood will flow out, her appetite will decrease, and she will urinate frequently.
When your dog is in estrus, you need to soothe it. Regularly clean the dog’s vagina with warm water and buy special menstrual pants for dogs to prevent secretions from contaminating the hair and the room.
