Do girl doggies get cramps during their "time of month"? :(

No, they don't get cramps. Yes, you CAN have them spayed while they are in estrus, but it is a more risky procedure and most vets will want to wait until she is out of estrus unless you have a really compelling reason to have it done rightfuckingnow.

As an aside, when she is "spotting", she is actually in proestrus, the stage before she is fertile. Once she STOPS spotting, she will be fertile for up to two weeks, and will attract dogs from miles away. Sperm can live in the reproductive tract for days, so I heartily recommend keeping her in the house (not the yard unless you are there) for the next three weeks or so.

Trust me, some dogs can do amazing things to get to a bitch in estrus and the number of owners who only keep their bitch indoors until they stop bleeding astounds me. >.<
 
Totally lost this thread. (fell off page 1, you know)

Thanks Ratters and everyone. Good to know that she's not hurting. Wife and I have been doing the whole "aww" thing, feeling bad for her.

Yeah, Kiwi - it sucks. I got dogs from all over coming into my yard. I'm clapping my hands and chasing them off left and right. I come home to a scene from Vietnam. But we deal with it, and clean it up. She's so damn cute, you just can't hold onto any bad feelings for long. Thanks again for the info, we'll wait until the spotting stops. ;)
