| Long heat? My Yorkie is having her first heat. It has been 5 weeks since it started. This seems a little long (to me)...should I be concerned? (swollen nipples and bottom...bled two days a couple weeks ago...seemed to be going out of it/swelling going down for several days, then bleed a tiny bit yesterday and swelling back up again) She's always been healthy but if this is something completely abnormal would anyone advise having her seen by a vet because of it? Any advice or feedback on this would be most appreciated. Thank you so much. ~Kendra |

| I believe that you should go with your gut feeling. If it were me, I would take her in to see the vet just for a check up and his opinion. Bitches that are not spayed can get infections. If she was bred, she could be having a miscarriage. I hope that everything is alright with your girl.

| Thanks for answering. We were getting our other Yorkie microchipped yesterday and I spoke with the vet about the one in heat and he said give it another week and then have her seen (since she isn't displaying any ill effects...mopey, etc). |

| Maybe since it's her first heat she's just a little irregular. I have heard of that and also things like split heat and silent heats. Hopefully everything is ok.... |
