Our 10 month old Beardie has just come into her first season in the last couple of days. She seems a bit under the weather and has been sick a couple of times. Is this normal or do you think she may be ill as well?

I have had bitches that seem to be a bit queezy at this time.  It is not unusual for them to have a couple of accidents in the house either.  They seem to not be as able to hold themselves, caught by surprise or uncomfortable perhaps due to a bit of pelvic congestion.
