Cherri tied 18days ago. She was still bleeding up until 3days ago, then she passed quite a bit but nothing since?

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!

On average during a dogs heat, they bleed for 10 days but it can be 2-4 weeks as well. Any bleeding past 4 weeks, or if Cherri is acting sick, is concerning and she should see a Vet for an infected uterus (pyometra). It sounds like Cherri bled for about 21 days? If she has stopped I am hoping she is now out of heat. You can do an ultrasound around 30 days from breeding to check for fetal heart beats or take an X-ray at day 50 to look for mineralized skeletons to confirm if she is pregnant.

I hope this helps and have a great day!
