Hi! My female labrador (9 months now) is having her 1st heat. Today is the 9th day of her heat but she is constantly licking herself from yesterday. Is this behavioural change normal?

Hello. Yes it's absolutely normal to lick the back region constantly during heat.

Hi, like the other doctor correctly pointed out it's normal for female dogs to groom themselves a little extra during estrus. But if you can check her to see if there is any abnormal discharge/ infection around that area would be better. Also help her by cutting the extra fur around that area and clean her with a clean wet cloth after she comes back from a walk. This will help to maintain that area clean and prevent infections.

Hi, my dog is a 4 year old golden retriever. He keeps humping quite often in the early morning. So I would like to know if I can get him neutered, and is it a safe choice to do it? Because I’m unclear about the pros and cons of getting a dog neutered. I’ve been told by a few to get him neutered and it is safe and a few who said that’s bad because it has more risk involved. Can someone help me understand this?
