After the first periods, which takes about anytime between 10 days to sometimes 25 days. She is ready to get Neutered. She will still get her periods but will not be able to get pregnant. I hope this helps.

Recovery varies, depending on the dog, care taken and weather. She will be distressed for the first week, their behavior is a good indicator of whether the internal healing is done.

Hi! It would be better to wait 1-2 months after the first heat cycle for spaying. Atleast 2 weeks of monitoring and care would be required after the surgery. You might observe some drowsiness from the anaesthesia in your dog for the first few hours. You can provide a quite place for them to recover from the anaesthesia. After about 2 days your dog might be back to normal but restrict from any jumping, running or heavy activities for the dog as it may cause rupture of the stitches.

Regular checking of the wound for any swelling, redness or discomfort is also required to treat any infection if that ever happens. Moreover before the surgery a full check up will be done by the vet and a through post surgery management will be explained by the vet.

I know that golden retrievers are bred in India with a tolerance for heat, unlike the original which stays only in cold climates. However, can I assume that my golden retriever puppy has a higher cold tolerance? I see that he loves to sleep in the floor but sometimes I also see him sleeping like this, trying to be all tucked in. Should I get him a bed? Could he be feeling cold? The reason I haven’t bought one for him is because he chews on everything, including metal. If I gave him something with a mattress, I’m positive he might end up pulling out the cotton etc in a couple of days. I know there are some anti-chew beds on the market, but my question here is that whether I should look for something that keeps him warm or cool…

Hi! My 3 months 20 days female labrador often scratches her ears and bites her limbs. Is it a normal behaviour or needs medical attention?

My lab is not eating his food from past few days. He has become a fussy eater lately. He is ok eating biscuits or buns but not rice or other food. I and my wife leave him home alone when we go for office. Is this a reason he is not eating?

Looking at the food recipes in the kuddle app, the quantities mentioned are for 1 meal right ? Or the quantities are for 1 day = 2 meals ?
