Terri - as they said - swelling of the vulva. Mine get a little snippy at first (imagine that!) and then they get loving. Both of mine were trying to show dominance by "riding" each other or my male.

You will need to get something for their bottoms. They will "spot bleed" but it's enough that it will cause staining on furniture, carpeting, etc. There are fabric diapers with velcro closures or you can get doggy diapers at Pet Smart. Depending on the size of your baby you can also purchase "baby diapers" and cut a hole for the tail. I use newborns for mine.

If you don't keep her area clean, she will or your others will by licking it. It's normal so don't get grossed out. If you do keep a diaper on her I would suggest bathing the area often and drying it good to keep hair from matting and any type of bad bacteria away from that area.

I hope this helps!!!
