Kay 3,709 Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 I noticed yesterday the dogs tail on the underside was wet & she is doing a lot of cleaning herself down there ,it isnt particularly swollen up, if she is in season how long does it tend to last generally ? she is 11 months old , its been over 25 yrs since I had a pup so I have forgotten what to look for Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Havelightforcewilltravel 417 Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 Could be the start of a season or maybe a slight infection I have had bitchs come in season at 8 months before give her few days see if any blood or discharge. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I will keep an eye on her today , she is shredding paper up on the kitchen floor so I am thinking she may well be starting her season Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Havelightforcewilltravel 417 Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 All bitchs different but I generally find first season much heavier and bleed a bit longer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnipper 5,945 Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 Is she peeing a lot more on walks? That' normally the first sign with mine and then a bit of swelling before the obvious blood. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kay 3,709 Posted February 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 Does the bleeding last the whole season , she has been like that a week roughly ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I can get her spayed in May then Seems a bit young to me to be spayed, if spaying i'd prefer the dog to be older so it fully developed and all the hormones have done their bit in the growing dog. Seems to me vets want to spay as early as possible, they don't tell you about risks such as increased risk of ligament damage, incontinence etc. I think it's a bit of a cash cow for vets, it always makes me laugh when I see their faces when I tell them I don't plan to get the dog spayed/neutered. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
foxdropper 17,092 Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 Bleeding will stop around 10th day and turn to clear liquid. THIS is when she is most fertile and lasts for roughly 3 to 4 days .Vulva stays swollen for another week or more then finished. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
