[QUOTE="donna723, post: 204771, member: 1883"] We had to get the shot for one of ours but it was years ago so I don't remember all the specifics or the timing. I'd be calling a vet first thing this morning. But the period of heat goes on for several weeks, so that doesn't mean he can't get her again after she gets the shot! From what I remember, the shot makes the period of heat continue and prevents implantation of the embryos if there are any. You definately need a crate to put a stop to the destruction - maybe the vet will loan you one. But dogs are very determined and it is entirely possible for them to be able to breed through the openings in a crate, especially a wire one. And many vets will NOT spay a dog while they're in heat - ours won't. There's a lot more to it and a much higher risk for complications to do the surgery if they're in heat. Your difficult child needs to get this dog spayed as soon as all this is over. Those shots do work but they take a big toll on the dogs sytem and most vets won't do it more than a time or two. It's not 'doggie birth control'. [/QUOTE]
