My dog's in heat again too soon. Is this normal or a health risk?

Question

Can a dog have a season two months after the last one? Pet's info: Dog | Staffordshire Bull Terrier | Female | unspayed | 6 years and 3 months old

Dr. Melanie, BVSc MS · Accepted Answer

No, it isn't normal for a dog to go into heat so soon after the last one, and what you may be seeing is a pyometra not a heat. A pyometra is a life threatening infection of the uterus that requires immediately medical attention. These are fatal without treatment. I would take Izzie into a vet immediately.
