To keep your dog in heat from bleeding everywhere, you can have her spayed, which involves surgically removing her uterus and reproductive organs. Spaying can also help to reduce your pup's risk of mammary tumors and pyometra, which is a life-threatening infection that occurs within the uterus. If you are not ready to say you never want your furry friend to have puppies, spaying is out of the question at this point in time. Fortunately, there are a number of medications your vet can prescribe that will stop the heat cycle. The most common of these drugs are referred to as GnRH or Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormones and can be purchased as either an injection or a subcutaneous implant. Both of these options are available for most breeds of dogs and work with equal effectiveness for as long as you keep your dog on the medication. Preventing the heat cycle will also leave your dog with less desire to find a mate, which could stop her from wandering off and getting lost, injured, stolen, or turned into your local animal control authority. By preventing her heat cycles, you can significantly reduce her risk of mammary and cervical tumors. Along with this, of course, is the fact that preventing your dog's heat cycles can help keep your vet bills down as you won't have to deal with the cost of pregnancy and with finding homes for all of the puppies your dog is capable of having.
