[lysiane_souris]

Good morning everyone and Merry Christmas.

Bailey has been in heat for over 1 week now and just curious for how much long is she going to bleed for??

Thanks everyone

FYI she is getting spayed next week I am hoping the swelling goes down by then??

I think I'll ask admin to add this as a sticky in the breeder section.

One week coming in.....swealing and turning pink
One week in...............bleeding
One week coming out..Breeding time. When one has to be very careful as to not have any in tact males around.

Total of 21 one days. But, to be on the save wide extend that another week to ensure there is no unwanted breedings.

Is your vet aware that your dog is in heat?? It is safer to wait several weeks after heat so there is less bleeding during surgery

I called her and made her aware she was in heat and they said their would be a surcharge for it and I said that was ok

After surgery still keep her away from males. She still has the scent and any accidents could really hurt her.

I promise I will...the only male friend she has just had surgery and he is kept away for healing..he had a tumour and the rest are ALL females... crazy... one crazy thought though...i was at my inlaws today and they have like 4 week old baby kittens and this was the first time for Bailey to see them and she went nuts... at first she was licking them like crazy and on one of them she position herself to hump the kitty
???? weird isnt it??? is that normal just because she is in heat?? LOL we thought it was funny.. as soon as she did that though we seperated them...

Haha it is funny, my Zoey has tried humping our cat when the female cat was in heat, and she had a toy she love to hump she is just starting her first heat she has been bleeding about two days now but she was doing that way before she went into heat. When we got her at 6 wks old she tried humping my boyfriends foot all the time lol....

Emy is just coming out of heat, she went into heat November 8th give or take, thats when I noticed how swollen she was..she only bled for about a week, and kept herself so clean I hardly knew she was in heat except for the constant licking and her dog boobs got swollen, the swelling is done on her little peepee, but the swollen boobs haven't completely gone down yet. I've read that to wait at least 6 weeks after a heat so the bodys hormones can get back to normal, and the swelling can completely be gone. I'm not going to have her spade until February. So it took a little over 3 weeks, but not for all the swelling to go away.
