My female half GSP an half Choc lab has been in heat 3 time an each time this has happened.Every one I have showen it to has never seeen it before. Its like her uterus is being pushed out from swelling.

Shees not in any pain or discomfert, but it's so unusual. I just came from the vet to get a visual on what it might be, of course no Doc. on duty, the tech hasnt seen it before but felt better that it happens each time she's been in heat which has been 3 time since i got at 8 months.

Concerns are can she recieve a male in such a state, which dosent look like she can. An how will birthing go if she gets pregnant. Do I have to get her fixed? I didnt bring her to the vet the first time cause she was'nt in any pain or discomfert but now looking into breeding an this just isnt normal. Any Ideas? I have a vet appointment on Monday to find out wats going on. Sorry for the not so pretty picture.full-2178-15003-1216111513.jpg

Possible:

Vaginal Prolapse

(uncommon)

may be hereditary. brachycephalics are predisposed. may precede uterine prolapse. occurs during periods of increased estrogen. rare during pregnancy

Diagnosis

donut shaped eversion of vagina, may see urethral papilla

Treatment options

- if mild, will spontaneously regress during diestrus - keep moist

- replace. may suture uterus or broad ligament to abdominal wall, or suture labia

- resect devitalized tissue (first do episiotomy and place urinary catheter)

- OHE is curative - will cause regression if not a chronic prolapse.

Vaginal hyperplasia.

* Vaginal hyperplasia (currently called vaginal edema...Root likes to call it vaginal prolapse!) usually occurs in younger, large breed dogs at estrus. It results from excess reaction to normal estrogen concentrations. It is actually edema of the tissue.

* You see a large red mass protruding from vulva. If the condition is chronic, the mass may be dried out. To make a definitive diagnosis examination of the mass will reveal a broad base, floor involved with the urethral orifice under the mass.

* Spontaneous regression will usually occur with conservative therapy. Ovariohysterectomy will prevent the occurrence in the future.

* Amputation is sometimes needed, and the condition will recur to some extent.

* You will probably have to perform artificial insemination if the FemaleDog is to be bred.

* If it is not a breeding FemaleDog you can administer OvaBan at a dose of 2.2 mg/kg for 7 days. Be sure to keep the mass moist while doing conservative therapy.

I have no idae what it is but being she's a mixed breed ( I'm sure she is a great dog) why have you not had her fixed befor this? Obviosly a planned breeding is out of the question and why risk the chance of an accident, with a litter of puppy's that could be tough to get rid of and more importantly why take the chance of putting your female at risk with an obviouse problem with her repoductive organs.

Plain and simple get her fixed... after this heat cycle..

Yeah I'm going to have to agree. I'd get her fixed,, it just makes sense.

Breeding her could be risky so you don't want to put her through that. Also if this is something that she can pass on to any offspring you wouldn't want to breed her anyways. And then there is the fact that finding families for mix breed puppies with a potential inherited medical condition isn't going to be easy. You'll put in a lot of time and money having and raising these puppies and getting them the proper vet care for the first 8 weeks. And after all that I think you'll have a hard time finding homes for them.

Good luck with everything.

As for the dog being a mix breed, there is a breeder in SD who crosses GSP with labs. Last figure I heard was the pups go for as much as $2K.

I will also cast a vote for getting her fixed to avoid any further complications.

It is one thing to breed a lab and gsp. It is another to breed a gsp/lab with someother dog or dog mix. Already enough muts out there

Doodles of every color make and model sell for 1 to 2K as well, theres a sucker born every minute. I have no idea who the guy is in SD but I would certainly not call him a breeder. Breeders are concerned with there breed of choice and go to great strives to improve the BREEd. Nothing against cross breeds, but if you look in the sunday paper there are alot of them waiting for adoption at the local shelter. Fortunalty this one got a good caring home, not likely for the rest of the litter. Our next "pet" only dog will come from the shelter.

From what I was told by someone who acquired one of these dogs, there is an attempt to get this "breed" recognized by the AKC in the coming years. This is only second hand information so I have no way of confirming this or how many generations of this GSP/Lab cross has been successfully bred.

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
