Dog trying to mate her, billy trying to mate her....could it be she is in heat and this is how her eyes look when she is experiencing such? Maybe the hiding in that space is so she can avoid the goat and/or the young dog.....even if she isn't in heat, it can't be fun to have two males trying it on all the time. I'd get her away from the two for awhile and see how she acts then.

I had a dog(neutered) that, for some reason, the neighbor's male dog wanted to mate all the time. He was much younger than my Jim or Jim would have taken his face off, but he seemed to be more tolerant of young dogs making mistakes...and would just hide his back end when that dog came around. He'd back up to a door or any nook that would keep his back end from being accessible. Any older dogs who did this would find themselves on their back, fighting for dear life.

No, sorry. Something came up and I had to be gone all day. I'm going to try and check her out tomorrow though.

I'm thinking about putting her in another section of the fence... Hopefully she won't climb out, lol.

Red drooping eyes are normal for Pyr from what I remember.

If there is no discharge from eyes, we could exclude infection.
Watch for the discharge.

When dog is tired and/or stressed, it does get droppy red eyes.
Are your dogs working hard during a night?

Since this is "Come and go" symptom, I opt for tiredness,
which might be associated with pregnancy as well.

Sorry I haven't been on, a lot going on and family hasn't felt well..... DH checked her out and couldn't find anything wrong or out of the ordinary. Both our pyrs bark often through the night... and during the day. I know there's a stray hound, female, that keeps wandering around. I don't know why she keeps coming on our land but she drives our dogs nuts. She's so quick and sneaky that no one has been able to catch her.... Maybe the aggravation of this dog is stressing her out?

We still haven't had the opportunity to fix the outer fence but I'm hoping once it's done and they all have more room maybe that will help cheer her up too.

I would love to think she's pregnant. Any way to find out aside from taking her to the vet? I keep forgetting to call but does anyone have an idea as to how much it might cost to find out? I'd like to know for sure. I hate guessing. :rolleyes:

Thanks everyone for checking on her!

Edited to say I forgot to mention, no there's no discharge from her eyes. Just red and droopy at times. :)
