Why is my dog bleeding and in heat 9 weeks after having puppies?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Female | unspayed | 20 lbs

My female had a litter 9 weeks ago and she seems like she's in heat again bleeding. Is this normal?!

No, this doesn't sound normal. It's quite soon for Omega to go back into heat again. I'd be concerned this could be something more serious like a pyometra (infection of the uterus). I'd have her checked out by a vet tomorrow.
