I have a blue merle collie and she is 9 months old she started bleeding on Christmas day and is still bleeding now. She isn't her self at all she wont settle and is sniffing around everywhere in the house. She has gone off her food not eating as much as she usually does and she usually loves going out in the back garden running about but doesn't want to go out. Is this normal or should I get her checked out at the vet. Please let me know anyone my e-mail is xo-claire-ox AT hotmail.co.uk

Thanks

I have a Siberian husky/wolf puppy. She is about 9 months old and is in her first heat. It is going on about 3 and a half weeks now and I was wondering if this is normal and how often will she have her "puppy period"?

My staffys 6 months old and on her 1st cycle. I didn't notice until I saw blood stains all over the sofa (NOT NICE). I've got her a nappy from the pet store, but it's a pain to get on and she can't go for a wee without it going in her nappy. A bit of a pain and she's very swollen but hopefully wont last to long.

Dogs are in heat about 3 weeks (21 days). They have usually been about a week before you notice anything. If you plan to have her spayed wait until after the heat (even if she accidentally gets bred) because it's a much easier surgery for the dog if she's not in heat. Recovery is very short - usually for a couple of days they might act a little down but you should keep them from too much activity for a couple of weeks or at least until after the stitches come out. However, your vet is the best one to ask about all this.

Get her fixed once she is done with this cycle. If you have a dog in heat and don't know how long it should be, than I would assume you don't mean to breed her (if you do, you've got to do some research before you do). Then you won't have to worry about being in heat anymore! (at least that is the way with cats once they are fixed).

Average is 21 days. Range is 2-4 weeks. That's what I have observed with my females. You can get diapers at pet smart for bleeding if needed.

I have a mini rat terrier, her name is Cheyenne and she is 7 months and has started her first heat. Can anyone tell me how long this will last? She is swollen and bleeds off and on. She is very healthy, but she is so swollen, any advice please? Her vet said this is normal. I am planning on having her fixed as soon as this over but it been a month. She first started swelling for about 2 weeks, then a few days of bleeding. I just want to know how long this will last. Barbaglia from TN

RE: How Long Will My Dog Be In Heat?

Your dog's heat can last as long as 1 month, maybe longer if this is her first time! The swelling comes first, then the bleeding, then after the bleeding, this is when she will take a male, BUT she is much too young to have babies, she is still a baby herself. Get her spayed a.s.a.p. This will also cut her chances 95 % of getting breast cancer . I think the humane society has a low cost spay and neuter program. I think you have to wait until she is done with her cycle to have her spayed, but I am not sure . Please do this as soon as possible ,she will be a better dog too as she grows up. I have always had my dogs spayed or neutered at about 6 months of age . (03/01/2006)

Your dog will probably bleed from 6-14 days. It depends on the dog. If you don't want her to get pregnant keep her away from male dogs right now or dont tie her up outside without supervision. (12/30/2006)
