Do dogs go through menopause2007-11-25 3:01:06
or do they not live long enough? just wondering.
Answers:First of all I Know this because a friend of mine breeds dogs:
No, female dogs do not go through menopause though sometimes there may be a cessation in heat cycles for a period of time and then they can start back up again. As a female dog ages, her fertility does drop off but she will not go through menopause as humans do. It is also possible for senior dogs to become pregnant. Dropping off of fertility with age does not mean she cannot become pregnant.
Yeah, it's called "dog o' paws".
Do dogs have periods? No,why would they go through menopause?
Female dogs should be spayed so that they don't ever go into heat. If it is done at the appropriate age--about 8 weeks, they don't produce any hormones, thus no menopause. If it is a male dog they should be neutered, and it takes about two weeks for all the testosterone to be gone.
No, dogs don't go through menopause. You are going to have to watch the girl all her life. Be careful, very very careful. Just like in humans, old dogs getting pregnant and having puppies is very dangerous for both mom and pups. If you don't want her to get pregnant, get her spayed.
