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  |
When they come into Season isn't an exact science....it can be 3 weeks early it can be a month later.
Should she be swollen? I've had girls that don't swell and have been bred. My suggestion is that you have her vet checked for possible infection. Which should be done prior to every breeding anyway.
