When a dog is menstruating, you should generally be careful not to bathe it, and clean its secretions every day to avoid infection. If you are not going to mate the dog, it is best to wear safety pants to avoid being raped by other dogs. Dogs in estrus will become irritable and their appetite for food will decrease. Parents should be aware of this.

Tip:

If the parent of a female dog in estrus is not prepared to mate it, it is best to neuter it as soon as possible. A female dog that has been in estrus for a long time has a high probability of developing pyometra.
