A dog's heat can last three to four weeks, so if she is still bleeding within that time frame, then it is normal. If it has been longer than four weeks, however, I would be concerned, and I would take Jade into the vet right away. This dripping blood could be a sign of a uterine infection called a pyometra, which is life threatening and requires immediate medical attention.
