Loco is coming up to 3 years old and her seasons have been regular up until now she came out of her last season in the middle of november and this weekend has started to show signs that she could be coming into season again
Vulva is swelling but there is no discharge/signs of blood (which she always has at seasons) and both male dogs (one entire - although she is now seperate from them just incase) are showing her attention (sniffing back end, licking where she has sat etc)
Could this be a season so soon after the last or could she be suffering from a urine infection, she is not urinating anymore often than usual

Thanks for your help
 
Could be a UTI but I would also like to exclude pyometra, so would maybe check with the vet, Bella had something very similar just after her last season and the beginnings of a false pregnancy which means she will be more prone to pyo, apparently.
 
Is she licking at herself or drinking more than usual or smelling fishy, could as CC suggests be a urine infection or a pyo, so keep a close eye on her.
Given her last season a pyo would be about rife now, they can commonly get a pyo about 6-8 weeks after a season
Entire dogs will get horny(for want of a better word) with things like urine infections or pyo as their is a chemical imbalance going on there and it's letting off some nice punjinty(sp) smells. which will make them sniff, lick and chatter their teeth

or try to mount her.
Keep a close eye on her hopefully it could be a urine infection, if not look out for discharge and fishy smell, her licking or drinking excessivly can happen over the course of a few days.
 
Not drinking or licking excessively just her usual quick one after shes had a pee, i`m checking her every few hours, no unusual smell or discharge just the slightest swelling down below and of course the boys reactions.
Shes her usual happy lappy Loco, will keep an eye on her and if I see any other changes off to the vets she will be

Thanks guys
 
As others, would keep an eye on her. Classic timing for a pyo, and if it were a closed pyo very few external symptoms. If she appears off colour in any way I would def pop her to the vets.
