Girl doggies and their periods...when do they end?

Hey i have a 5 year old female Shish tzu. She has her period ever some odd months like a girl dog show have, but there is one problem me and my mom both have, we wanna go take our dog Lilly to go get fixed, so she wont have to have a period anymore cause we know it bugs her and it makes a mess around the house and so on and so forth. But we know it will cost quite a bit of money and it will put her into pain if we take her to go get fixed. So we were wondering if it is really worth going to get her fixed cause she might stop having her period soon. So my question is , when do dogs like mine finally stop have a period or do they even stop, do they just keep going an going? Also when do they start having one? like we have ours once a month for about a week. so wut is their cycle? please give as much info as u can, me and Lilly both thank u!
Answers:
Female dogs go into heat roughly every 6 months for approx. 13 days, although you will see bleeding only for about half that time, the rest of it is the 'standing' heat which is the time she would likely get pregnant if bred. If you do not intend to breed your dog, have her spayed no matter what...the mess and cost is only a small inconvenience compared to the health risks down the road of not having her spayed. As a small breed you are looking at many more years of 'heats' and possibly an unwanted pregnancy.
a yourlie is 2ce a year for 2 weeks
Dogs go into heat about every 6 months and bleed for approximately one week. The cycle actually lasts about 3 weeks and so you need to keep her away from males the whole 3 weeks.
Yes, it is worth getting her spayed. Being spayed prevents the dog from many illnesses including mammary cancer, uterine cancer and infections, and of course complications from unwanted breedings.
Dogs recover very quickly from being spayed and usually show little or no sign of being in pain. Spay surgeries are very common and safe.
I'd get her spayed if it were my dog.
this is not a period this is a heating cycle. it's two different things. it is safe to get a dog fixed up until age 8. they are some low cost places that will spay her for a more reasonable price. looka around to see if you have any in your area. most females have a heat cycle twice a year.
WHEN YOU @%26^%$! SPAY HER!!!!!!
