It could be Lola isn't in heat, and that's why she won't mate with your male. If you have another intact male, I would see if she will mate with him. Should she refuse, then she isn't in heat and her symptoms of heat could be due to something serious such as a pyometra. In that case, take her into a vet immediately. Best of luck.
