<p>That's great she is ok this morning :-D Yes, some bitches can experience pain. Hormones are funny things and can affect different dogs in different ways, just like they do to different women. Need I say more :-D I knew a chocolate lab who was horrendous in the first week or so of her season, stretching, not eating and lethargic. She also developed equally horrendous phantoms after too and eventually they had her spayed. I don't think Bess sounds anywhere near as bad as that Lab though.…</p>

Good morning! Glad to hear she decided to eat- good girl! It's so typical that things like that happen on weekends, one than so wishes they could speak and explain themselves "don't worry just need some time& sleep" or " I am really in big pain need help"....so Bess than continue to keep your family active:))

<p>I have had bitches since 1976 and don't ever recall any of them being uncomfortable during a season until Christmas this year when one of mine went off her food for a couple of days at 12 days in season and was lying curled up tight as if she was uncomfortable. She was keen for walks and runs but was definately off colour and I was just deciding that she ought to go to the vet when she started eating again and was back to normal. Being a bit sicky with bile I also find normal when they are…</p>

Being a bit sicky with bile I also find normal when they are in season. Hopefully it was just a blip and she is now feeling better and eating again. However you may now need to look out for phantom pregnancy time a few weeks later. Mine go off their food then. One wouldn't eat anything for about a week, one doesn't eat for a couple of days and then only eats one meal a day for a while and the others can't possibly eat breakfast. </p> She's now decided to eat her…tag:irishsetters.ning.com,2013-03-02:865021:Comment:10829012013-03-02T21:20:35.340ZTrish Haillhttp://irishsetters.ning.com/profile/TrishHaill

Hi Trish- I am on the I -Phone and there were many typing errors which I couldn't erase therefore deleted my answer. Well I had 8 bitches and none ever showed signs of pain or cramps, they were always happy as usual during their seasons. So would say it is not normal and if she gets worse or is not<br />
much better would phone or see the vet.

I've got the Book of the Bitch' and it says in there that some can feel pain. But it's the not eating as well that's worrying me a bit. Of course it would be a Saturday! Ill see how she goes and perhaps contact a vet tomorrow.
