Just yesterday I noticed that she had blood down by her private area, my husband said that she has started her period and is in heat. If that is true how long will this last and how long will she bleed?
Answers:
A female's season lasts for 21 days. They usually bleed for 10 days but don't be fooled into thinking that's the end of her season. She can still become pregnant right up to her 18th day. Just because the blood dries up doesn't mean to say that it's all over. Females normally ovulate between the 10th and 14th days. This is the time when they will readily accept a male.
I personally don't agree with putting diapers on dogs. The female will lick this area to keep herself clean and by putting diapers on her you are preventing her from doing what comes naturally. Just keep her confined to an area with a washable floor while she is on heat. They usually only 'spot' and it is easily mopped up. Most females will clean up after themselves anyway but you don't want her staining your carpets.
You can buy an Anti-Mate Spray which will help to deter any visiting males but be very vigilant with her because she will be just as eager to get out to find a mate herself when it gets to her mating days. If you take her outside always make sure she is on a lead. Try walking her in a place where you know there will not be any dogs or you could end up fighting off a line of male suitors. Once a male gets the scent of a female on heat believe me there is no stopping them.
Once she has had her season maybe you could consider having her sprayed. This will save you any future worries.
Good luck.
I would say you need to get your dog fixed.
She has as you can see her private are is swollen too that is a sing of the dog being in heat . She will bleed for about 21 days twice a year . It don't bleed too much but you can end up with stains on the carpet too . There are diapers for female dogs that they can wear when it the house while in heat .
I would recommend getting your dog spayed so you won't heave to deal with that and unwanted puppies .
3 to 4 weeks is the normal amount of time. just keep her away from any male dogs.
They don't bleed that much. Usually little drops here and there, but they can stain a carpet. They bleed usually around a week to 10 days once every six months. Some go earlier some later but its usually around every 6 months. Unless you get her spayed unlike humans dogs never go into menapause.
