I noticed that yesterday my 5yr old yorkie had some drops of blood in her urine and she has been peeing alot also marking territory. She is also swollen. I figured this was all because she is in heat but today there is no sign of blood in her urine i thought this got worse and lasted 3 weeks?? Is she in heat? or could this be something else?

I would take her in..sounds like she may have UTI.

It sound to me like she might be in heat. Some females keep themselves very clean and you may not always spot blood. Take a white tissue and wipe her private part and see if you see any color. Females usually bleed the first 8 or 9 days of their heat cycle then it turns pinkish in color to almost no color. The heat cycle lasts 3 weeks.
