How long do female dogs bleed for?
we've had a rescued springer for 2months now, its been a while since we had a dog, she started her bleeding down below 2 days ago just wondering how long it goes on for. and when people say 'in season' is it before she bleeds or while she is. bit confused but i do love my doggy!
Answers:
Its about 2 weeks.
The bleeding is to flush out the egg that hasnt been fertilised, so she is 'in season' before the period because thats when she is most fertile.
Da_Hammerhead - you are totally wrong and could cause pointless worry. The dog is a mammal and female, she bleeds. Its a fact of life. Dogs do it every 6 months as oposed to a human 28 days.
DO they bleed? I had no idea. Poor things. I'd take her to the vet, and find out. Oh yeah - and 'in season' will refer to ovulation, so it definitely is NOT when any bleeding is taking place.
MY DOG BLEEDS FOR ALMOST 2 WEEKS AND THE MALE DOGS START TO HANG AROUND A FEW WEEKS BEFORE THAT..
4 to 6 weeks depending thats what my female dog does.
1. What is heat?
Heat is more properly called the estrous cycle. During this cycle, female dogs may get pregnant. It’s equivalent to human menstruation.
2. What are the symptoms?
Females bleed from the vagina sometimes with swelling of the vulva and increased urination. Don’t expect bleeding comparable to a human female.
For small dogs, it’s usually not much and you may need to pay close attention to your puppy to identify her first cycle. Other than the bleeding, the most noticeable symptom may be male dogs hanging around your house.
3. When does a dog come into heat?
The average female dog has her first cycle about six months of age. A few dogs start earlier and few dogs later, even as late as 14-months.
If you have a new female puppy, you should watch her and note when she has her first cycle. If she’s 14-months old and still hasn't’t been in heat, you should take her to a veterinarian.
4. How long does the heat cycle last?
The average is three weeks or 21-days. In some dogs, it lasts only two weeks while others go four weeks.
5. How often will she be in heat?
Most female dogs have regular cycles usually every six to eight months. It’s quite typical to be in heat twice a year.
6. When can she get pregnant?
She can get pregnant only when in heat. Some breeders test for progesterone levels to identify the most fertile days but the rule-of-thumb is that the most fertile days are 11-15 of her cycle.
Note – when she’s in heat, the average dog will permit any male dog to mount her. Few females, however, will accept a male when they’re not in heat.
7. Can she get pregnant her first cycle?
Yes. However, responsible breeders generally would not breed a dog that early. For one thing, you need to do genetic testing and some serious problems such as hip conditions do not show up until a dog is approximately 2-years of age.
8. Can I take her on walks during this cycle?
Yes with care. She has no problem with the exercise but she’s a walking magnet for male dogs.
Even the best trained and behaved female dog will succumb to hormones. You can’t trust her off a leash or out of your control. Never let her outside by herself even in a fenced yard if there is any possibility of male dogs nearby.
For walks, if there are male dogs in your neighborhood, it’s a good idea to take your dog in your car and drive to a remote area. Take her for the walk there and drive back home. Otherwise, the scent of her urine and vaginal discharge will blaze a trail to your home.
9. When I can have her spayed?
The answer to that one has changed continually over the 25-years I’ve been in the dog business. People used to be told to let their dog go through at least one cycle or let them have one litter.
Today, veterinarians are doing it much earlier. Some vets spay as early as 6-weeks of age! Talk to your veterinarian about your dog and the vet’s preferences. The state of veterinary medicine also is much improved over the past 25-years.
10. If I don’t have her spayed, will she go through menopause.
No. Her fertility may decline but she will not go through menopause comparable to a human’s. She won’t lose her ability to become pregnant even as a senior so if you don’t want to her to have any (or more) litters, she must be spayed.

2 weeks, dont forget you can get pills to speed up the heat.
wth..i nver realized female dogs bleed..i guess it makes sense but i always thought human females r the only ones..idk y..i nvr thought about it.
bloody hell deano, 3 weeks or so is easier to read than that lot!:-)
Get it to a vet right now. There should be no blood dripping from her. I had a female schnauzer do that earlier in the year. I thought it was in heat. Turns out she somehow ruptured her uterus. I took her to the vet. They tested her red blood cell count. WAY TOO LOW. Emergency spaying surgury was done. Her red blood cell count was too low to clot and she bled to death. I miss her still. I loved her most. Good luck.
The average estrus cycle is 18 days starting with bright red bleeding, to pink and finally cream. She will usually accept the stud during the 10th to the 16th day with some variation. In season refers to roughly a three week period twice a year.
The heat cycle of a dog lasts about 3 weeks total. The bleeding part is being in heat and usually lasts about 1 week. Going into heat is about a week and coming out of heat lasts another week. I don't know the answer for sure about being in season since I am not sure if she is fertile during all 3 weeks or just during the in heat time frame. Dogs usually go into heat every 6 months. It is best for her health-wise to have her spayed, it eliminates the risk of ovarian and uterine cancer. Pet overpopulation is a huge problem and spaying or neutering is the responsible pet owner thing to do. She can be spayed 6 weeks after she has completed her heat cycle.
Depends on where you shoot it.Actually my friend used to make his dog(*****) wear Yfronts when she was on heat with her tail through the Y part,now thats funny.
I have had a few dogs over the years and all bitches. They come into season roughly between 6-10 months .The season lasts approximately 3-4 weeks. The vulva starts to swell and then will bleed for just over a week.It then starts to decrease and change colour to a clear discharge ( middle week ) which is the time when she is ready to accept the male . After the middle week it then tapers off and generally back to normal in the 4weeks.
I believe your doggy just went in heat or "in season". usually it will last about 30 days. She will spot during those days. if you can keep her outside but if she's an indoor house dogs you might want to invest in some doggy diapers sold at walmart for $10 for a 32 pack. It will last you about maybe a week or two. She can bleed and pee in it. But make sure you keep her on her regular potty routine, i.e. if she's pad train you want to make sure she still mimicks that even though she's wearing a diaper and not peeing on the pad. If she gets used to peeing on the diaper for convience she might grow out of the habit of using the pad. She might break her potty trained routine. Welps, best of luck! If you have any further questions, feel free to contact a vet, they will answer your questions over the phone so it won't cost you time or money to keep bringing her in for little things.
