Hi Guys & Gals... I havent posted in a while, been crazy busy with life & managing a diabetic cat. My little girl who is 27 months old just went into her 3rd heat, or at least that is what I am thinking. She is a every 9 month heat Yorkie, which this heat (if this is it) is about 3 weeks late from 9 months. I started to notice that my male has been following her around in the past 2 days & I have checked her & checked her & nothing. Friday I mentioned to my husband her nipples looked a little darker than usual... then yesterday, my boy is smelling her again, so I went to check on her, & noticed dry blood on the tip of her hairs around her little girl area. I cleaned it with a baby wipe to make sure it was blood & kind of opened her opening to see if there was anything else & sure enough. The reason I did this was b/c she wasnt/isnt swollen- but is bleeding.
Is this normal? B/c the last 2 times I have caught her heat shes already swollen, could that be b/c I caught it a couple days late & this time I caught it right on time?
I just want to make sure this is a heat & shes expected to swell, or is there something wrong? Any help will be appreciated! Thanks.
PS- Yes I am expecting to breed her. & last time she got her heat, we bred her but she never got pregnant, so I wonder if I caught it too late
