Has anyone ever heard of this?

With Ruby's one and only heat there was so little bleeding it was practically nothing. I don't know though if it's possible for absolutely none.

Yes...I've known of several small dogs that didn't bleed at all when they were in heat

It could be a split heat. That's where there's swelling for a couple of weeks then nothing. Another few weeks later there's swelling and bleeding.

Another reason for lack of bleeding is if the female is cleaning herself well.

I have had a few who never bled, but willingly bred on the right day and had puppies..I put panties on some and got no color at all, some spotted one or two days..some never.....odd, but true.

When Brooklyn went into heat (about a month and a half ago or so) Mikayla bled for two days then went out...so I just figured she's have the "split heat" and Brooke had brought her into it...and that she'd have her real one later.

Well about a week ago she swelled...she is most DEFINITELY in heat, I mean she's super swollen, firm nipples, acting like a little b**** (lol)...anyways, but there's NO bleeding whatsoever. I've checked her every day for the whole week and NOTHING. The only thing I know to do is just to watch for her flagging to breed.

Is it possible that because she bled for a couple days a month and a half ago that she lost the blood she was going to lose then? I've never had one to do this...it's very strange.

I also do the q-tip test...so I don't think she could quite clean herself, but I could be wrong...

Did they still breed on the 10-14th day or so?

When I had Penny and she went into heat there was hardly any blood.

YorkieRose · 01-30-2008, 09:43 AM

Yes..mine do...

Is it usually the same girls that it happens to? Or just at random? Mikayla has had 2 litters before, and 4 or 5 heats I believe, and she's always bled before...

My chi Rosie has these.

Yes, it does happen , I had one girl like that no bleeding at all but yes she did accept the male just like a normal dog in heat would do and she did got pregnant and had babies. Just do a search typing "silence heat" and you'll find more info about this.

jklehm · 01-30-2008, 07:47 PM

It's possible that she is keeping herself very clean, and the bleeding is not very noticable. Bella has had gone into heat a few times, but kept herself very clean to where we could hardly tell she was bleeding

I think there is a difference between a silent heat and a split heat.

How often is she swollen--coming into heat? If it is a silent heat and is occurring more often than every 6 months--you might take her to a repro vet.
