i have an 18 month old Jack Russell, she is beautiful, she has a bit of energy but not over the top, i think she may be coming into season, i had hoped to have her spade before she did but she wasn't well and i am waiting for her globulin level to be high enough, she is not bleeding yet. so Question 1 is how do i know if she is coming into her first heat ?
yesterday i adopted a 18 month old male desexed jack russell to keep my female company as she hadnt been well although she is alot better she was still sad and seemed as she was very lonely after my 14 yr old maltese shitzu passed away a few months ago,anyway this dog is a hurricane, i am a little lost as to what to do with him, he has worn her out, and he just doesnt seem to want to rest at all, she wants to get some rest, he just wants to run and play 24 / 7, jumps and barks, he wasnt like this when i looked at him at the shelter, he can calm down but only if he is sitting on your lap if not he just want sit still, even when he trys to lay down and close his eyes his eyes keep springing open and he jumps up, i have not had such a hyper dog, my girl sleeps in our room and last night he didnt want to sleep at all , so we had to lock him in the bathroom, so question 2 is what can i do, and do you think this is only because he is in new surroundings etc ?
