thorny 100 Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 (edited) I would guess she is in season, if you are in any doubt you should take her to the vet. How old is she? as most bitches have there first season between 6 to 12 months, some differ Edited September 29, 2011 by thorny 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rabbiting man 1,192 Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 She more & likely be in season mate but look for the signs The dog situation. It is well known that entire female dogs do suffer from a range of diseases & medical conditions that are directly associated with hight blood estrogen & /or progesterone levels (the hormones produced by the ovaries). These conditions include: vaginal hyperplasia (a large swelling of the roof of the vaginal passage, which results in a large red or pink ball of flesh protruding from the bitch's vulva-see images below. These are images of the vulva of bitches with vaginal hyperplasia, also called vaginal prolapse (some people incorrectly, term this condition uterine prolapse, however, uterine prolapse is a different condition altogther). The red pink swelling protruding from the roof from the vulva opening is the roof of the dog's vagina. This conition is hormonal & can often be resolved through spaying. I hope this will help anyone.

paulus 26 Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 she is in season by the sound of it. just keep an eye on her discharge for signs of infection, well more like keep a nose on it as the smell is hard to miss, everything should go fine,as already has been said bleeding for about 2 weeks keep away from dogs for at least 3 weeks and she wont be back to herself for at least a couple of weeks after that.
