Silent Heat? and other Female - YorkieTalk.com Forums

My Mia has all the signs of being in heat except her vulva area is not swollen. But she has been cleaning herself and is a little jumpy as she usually is when she is in heat.

So I am guessing she is not in heat yet but will be in the next week.(I am not breeding her this cycle or the next because she had a litter in July 08.)

Mia is continuously cleaning herself and my other female 11mth old has become very agressive toward her in the past two days.

I also have noticed the 11mth old (CHLOE) has been sniffing her rear end and then that is when she becomes agressive toward her (MIA).

Has anyone had this problem before?

Usually right before a female comes in heat they do start acting more agitated. Often when females are coming in heat or in heat they have a tendency to fight more. Sometimes the fighting can get serious so just watch them closely and if they start fighting you may have to separate them. Usually the females will also start mounting each other when they are in heat. Good luck.
