I have a question regarding my female beagle. I am suspecting she is in heat. She has be urinating a lot more than usual and my male beagle is always trying to get to her. He has been licking her all over all the time. He licks her face, her belly, her legs, pretty much anything he can lick he will. But what is throwing me off a bit is that my other male is not all over her. He is acting like he always does around her. Also, there is no blood. Could she possibly be in a silent heat?

How old is she?
Also, you should see her privates swolen. It's possible that she has UTI - worth calling the vet!

She is 16 months old.

Is the male desexed?

Usually if it is because she is in heat they would be licking her rear only. It may just be that your one male is showing her some respect. I know that my female gets that way towards our oldest male.

Trust me, he is also licking there.
All the other dogs are also very interested in her urine. When I take them outside to relieve themselves Snoopy and Jabroni will even eat her yellow snow! What could that mean?

Could well be she is coming on heat. It lasts three weeks and in the early stages there is no bleeding. I hope you are planning to have her 'done'. Are your males neutered? Otherwise, sooner or later you will have unwanted pups.
