| anyone heard of: a female pom not going into heat for years? First off, these are not my dogs :) but I do know them personally. Scenario: A white female pom that was a "spayed" rescue that is about 6 years old. A 7 year old Min Pin that is not fixed. The Pom has never had a heat cycle or shown any signs of such. These two dogs have been together for almost 5 years. Today the owner woke up to 5 puppies.  I have 5 rescue dogs and dogs most of my life but all have always been fixed and the females, before they were fixed, showed obvious signs when they went into heat. Granted all my dogs are big dogs, the smallest being 70 lbs. Do smaller dogs take longer to mature or is this just some freak thing? Could the female only have been partially spayed? |

Whether it's true or not- I don't know but I was told that Poms usually cannot give birth alone and often need a C section. I believe the average size of a litter is small like 2 or 3. For her to have 5 pups on her own- WoW! I would love to hear what a vet says about this.

| This isn't going to be too much help except to add a little relate-ability to your story. And I don't know all the technical stuff that goes along with it but my mom has two girl poms. The older one is 12 and has had what my mom considers a regular heat cycle. She has also had a couple of litters of puppies. The younger one is 9 and my mother suspects she went into heat once. Again, she only suspects this but isn't sure. She is only sporadically around male dogs and has never had any puppies. My mom has expressed some concern over it all but not really looked into it any further since she isn't interested in any more puppies. Loper likes this.

Did you get any of the Evergreen candles when we had them? Think there may be one left in Solomons; maybe some room spray as well.
