My dog is in heat, bleeding, but not mating. Is this normal?

This doesn't sound like a miscarriage. The blot clot is probably just normal from the heat cycle. I would not be worried about it unless bleeding persists. As a side note, a puppy at 9 months old is probably fertile; rarely are they "blank". They become sexually mature and able to breed a female at about 6-7 months of age. I suspect that she will get pregnant. If you don't want this mating I suggest you speak to your vet about a mis-mating injection.

This is normal. Dogs have can silent heats where they go into heat but show no signs of it. They can also heats where they don't bleed as much. This does not require a vet visit. I hope this helps!

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Based on your pictures I wouldn't call it heavy bleeding. Dogs mate when the female is in heat (during bleeding). Breeding may have triggered some blood that had been pooling. I wouldn't worry unless it continues or she is lethargic. But yes, she can still get pregnant. Good luck!

Hello! it's absolutely fine if she licks the blood, it won't affect her health. i do not recommend waiting for her second heat cycle and mate her, there is no proof of any benefit in waiting, i recommend having her spayed about 3 months after the first heat cycle.

Hello Mariah! If you are finding red spots, Mia is likely in heat. The heavy bleeding doesn’t happen at the beginning of the heat. The swollen nopples indicate she is in heat as well. Her behavior does sound normal for a dog in heat :-)

With any new reproductive symptom out of the norm for your pet, it is best to have a vet take a look, especially if the symptoms persist, Tinkerbell continues bleeding, or if she seems otherwise ill or in distress. A vet check in person can help rule out any issues such as infections, hormonal problems, or other related issues that may be causing the change.

No, that is not something that is normally seen. With your pet being 6 years old and a larger greed based on the weight you have indicated, she is really past the recommended age for breeding. If she is still bleeding after nearly 4 weeks and it doesn’t appear to be subsiding, she should be checked out by a veterinarian. She may have a uterine infection starting. I would also discuss whether breeding her any more s recommended. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
