OK. Great picture. The swelling is significant, but not totally out of the ordinary. As long as she can urinate, she will be fine. If she is unable to urinate, then she will need to be spayed immediately to cut off the hormones causing the swelling. Otherwise, as she goes out of heat, the swelling will diminish normally. Do not worry too much about this. She will be fine.
