| Unsure if she has went in heat.... So im a little confused about all of this. I have a friend who used to work at a vet and I asked him if my dog has went in heat yet or when she will since she is now 9 1/2 months old! And he told me she may have and I just never noticed! B/c they will lick up the blood and it wont be visible for me to see on the carpet etc. which is usually how people can tell. And also I haven't really noticed her being swollen down there. I dont know what it looks like normally or what a swollen one would look like? LOL If anyone could please give me any advice I would appreciate it!

| She will get about 3 times as big, I would say. If you ever give her a belly rub, you will definately notice. And they lick all the time so much you will wonder why and look there to see. |

| I had the same questions and concerns not too long ago. Missy was 11mo old and I assumed she must of gone into heat and I missed it since I have heard it can go unnoticed. But at about 11 & 1/2 months old she went into heat and it was obvious. Her area down there will become very swollen and very noticable, her nipples may become enlarged too. There will be a lot of licking and more than likely noticable blood. The 1st week or so the blood was not noticable and she was able to clean herself really good. But about the 2nd week the blood was so frequent I had to buy her panties to keep her area protected. I think when she does go into heat you will know good luck!
