Jess is nearly eight months old, and I think she may be coming into season, but I don't know all the signs, or how to deal with this.
She is licking herself a lot more than usual, seems a little more swollen than usual, and has been eating garden plants by the bucketful to make herself sick for the last couple of days.
We will have her spayed after this season (and I know the current advice is to do this first, but we left it too long...).
Are the above symptoms likely to indicate her coming on heat? What else should we be looking out for, or doing for her? How long is she considered to be in season? Any other advice?
Thanks!
