Advice please! Spayed bitch and neutered dog being"naughty"!

[dozzie]

I had my bitch spayed last year. My dog was neutered about three years ago but had retained testicles so not an easy op! Now my dog is trying to mate my bitch!

This may sound funny but my bitch is a 8 yr old mastiff and having 10 stone of "boy mastiff" on you is not good!

Im suspecting my bitch could have another vaginal polyp (she had one removed in March) but horse vet(out on Tuesday so passed it by him- like you do)-thought this unlikely. I will take her to vet for a check but could it be something else? Im a bit puzzled and not sure how worried I should be, if you understand?

It is unlikely your bitch has a vaginal polyp if she has been speyed because they only appear when they come into season and if she has been fully speyed that shouldn't happen.
My speyed bitch and castrated male often bonk each other - including the bitch getting on the dog - it is part of their dominance/pecking order routine. Usually they decide to establish who is top dog around the time when I have relatives round or polite company!

i agree with aj,i dont think its anything to worry about,all our dogs have been done and still bonk eachother,the bitch does it to other bitch just before a season and our boy dog does it as well,its also dominance,if you are worried then consult your vet as a precaution but im sure she will be fine

Thanks both of you!

Ann-jen- she had the vaginal polyp removed 9 months after she had been speyed. Do you think it was forming before she was speyed? (She was an emergency spey- due to piometra-would this make any difference?)

She seems fine in herself so I think I'll keep an eye on her. I was wondering about cystitis or something like that as she used to suffer from this when she was coming into season but she isnt weeing for England which was always the obvious sign.
