| A normal heat cycle lasts about three weeks on average. One week coming in, one week in standing heat, and one week going out. I'd keep her away from males for at least a month though just to be sure. Don't worry, the vulva gets HUGE during heat...it ought to start going down after her receptive period. However, it will never return to the size it was as a puppy before she went into heat.

| My Yumi just entered her first heat cycle 3 days ago, she will be 8 months on Wednesday. How long does the actual spotting/bleeding last? She hates these diapers/pads I bought...and she eventually gets out of them. I have guest coming to stay this weekend and I don't want her messing things up if she happens to jump on them How embarrasing would that be. Any types on better ways of keeping her clean and comfortable?

The spotting is very minimal......usually can't be detected unless you blot with a tissue right after they urinate..............just warn your guest that she is in Season and although the spotting is minimal it is best not to pick her up
