When Maggie goes into heat, we put diapers on her when she is bleeding. It usually lasts 2-3 weeks. Sometimes she seems to stop and then starts bleeding again after a couple days too. She hates the diapers and is a pretty good 'escape artist' and manages to get the diaper off most of the time, so we have to put it on pretty tight. It's either that, or we get blood all over. Maggie is about 9 lbs or so. We also have a Maltese named Lilly. When she goes into heat, her bleeding is very minimal and we usually don't need diapers on her. She is considerably smaller than Maggie though. |
