I got Katie about 4 weeks ago and she was about 9 months old, 2 weeks later she started her first heat cycle and is going into her 3rd week and it is starting to go way a bit now. I actually had her scheduled for a spay and she went into heat so my vet told me to wait until a few weeks after her heat ends to be spayed. The only weird thing I find with her is that she pees alot but I read that it is normal, if she is still peeing like a trooper i will be having that checked in a few days when she gets her booster needle.
