My dog was bred, now she's bleeding again. Is she pregnant or in heat?
Updated On September 23rd, 2025
My dog arrived from Russia Nov 17th and I noticed that she was bleeding on Monday Nov 20th. So its her heat of course. Breeder told me that she started her heat started several days before shipping her to me. Said no blood but knew the signs. Well on Nov 22nd she was bred. Then on Nov 30th I believe she was done with her heat because the male lost interest in her. So after that everything was going good. Then on Dec 16th I noticed she was bleeding. Why is this?

It's very abnormal, it's either because of another heat cycle which will mean she is not pregnant or because the pregnancy was terminated prematurely. an ultrasound at your vet's can shed some light on this.

It sounds like you tried to mate Lez at the correct time in her cycle, and she won't necessarily stop bleeding just because she is pregnant. I would wait until at least April 22nd and then take her into the vet for a blood test. The vet can test for a hormone called relaxin which will indicate if she is pregnant or not.

My dog Izzy had went into Heat end of October and me and my family just noticed as of yesterday she's starting to bleed is she miscarrying and what should I do?
I would have your vet take a look at her to see where the blood is coming from. The urethra is also very closely associated with the vagina so she could be leaking blood from her bladder. She could also be suffering from a serious infection called a pyometra which needs to be addressed ASAP. Your vet will also be able to tell if she is/was pregnant. There isn’t much you can do at home. If she is bleeding, further diagnostics need to be done. She likely needs some meds and additional treatment. I hope this helps.

my siberian husky went on heat 2 months ago and was mated. She did not show any signs of pregnancy . She had bleeding for about 3 days now. What could this be?
Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! I would have her examined by your Vet. I would worry she could have an infected uterus or be trying to deliver. She could be pregnant but with one or 2 puppies. Vaginal bleeding off from a normal heat cycle is not normal. An infected uterus is life threatening. It is best to be safe and have her seen. I wish Hachiko the very best!

Female dog is bleeding from vagina I found her stuck to another dog yesterday I bought her pampers because I have an unneutered male every time I change the pamper there's blood on them
It sounds like Sophie is in heat for the first time, which causes the bleeding from the vagina. Due to the fact you have an unneutered male in the house and she has already mated, it is likely she will become pregnant. If you don't want puppies, you can see if the vet will spay her. That will terminate any pregnancy, and keep her from getting pregnant in the future. I'd also recommend having your male neutered.

My dog is bleeding heavily after she got mated. What does it means?Is it possible for her to get pregnant?
Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! 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!

Why would my dog be going back in heat? It has been more than 21 days. Now she is bleeding again.
Most dogs typically go into heat twice a year. The questions to ask yourself are: 1. Has she ever done this before? 2. Does the blood look different? 3. Is she behaving differently? Occasionally, bitches do slow their bleeding and then start up again briefly towards the end, but it is not worth the risk to assume this is the case here. If this is not how her heat cycles normally progress, it is possible that she has [pyometra](https://www.petcoach.co/dog/condition/pyometra/), or an infection of the uterus. Pyometra is common in older, intact female dogs that have recently had a heat cycle. It is a very serious condition that typically requires surgical intervention. Please bring her to your veterinarian or the nearest veterinary ER to be on the safe side. She needs to be seen ASAP, especially if she is lethargic, [feverish](https://www.petcoach.co/article/6-common-signs-your-pet-has-a-fever) or has a tender abdomen.

My dog is frequently bleeding we don't know the reason whether it is matured or in maturity period or it is going to be pregnant or the blood comes because of sex activity tell me plz
HI, thanks for using Boop by Petco! When a dog is in heat (period) they can have bloody vaginal discharge for up to 2 weeks. Some dogs have light bleeding while others have heavy bleeding. Dogs do not have bleeding after mating or if they are pregnant, unless they are having complications of pregnancy. I think it would be helpful to know more details: how long the bleeding have been going on? Urinary symptoms? Has she had a heat before? Has she been bred? How is she feeling? If she has been bleeding from her vulva for more than 2 weeks or is not feeling well she needs to seek veterinary care. I hope this helps and I wish Sunny the best!

Bitch 34 days pregnant and bleeding
This is likely to be a sign of miscarriage, i would recommend taking her to the vet in about a week from now to have it confirm with an ultrasound. if the bleeding does not stop within 3 days or if the bleeding is severe take her to the vet earlier than that.

My dogs been in heat last few wks. She had bleeding from her private as usual. She got out and it was two dogs i believe got to her. Since then she has had some bleeding from her rectum and the normal bleeding has seized. She doesn't act like she fee
If she actually got preegnant, the she will be having puppies 8-9 weeks, so the spay date is not a good one. You need to schedule an appointment now to check the source of bleeding and to possibly give her a hormone shot so the pregnancy can be terminated. Please make an appointment with your veterinarian ASAP so she does not develop an infection.

Cherri tied 18days ago. She was still bleeding up until 3days ago, then she passed quite a bit but nothing since?
Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! On average during a dogs heat, they bleed for 10 days but it can be 2-4 weeks as well. Any bleeding past 4 weeks, or if Cherri is acting sick, is concerning and she should see a Vet for an infected uterus (pyometra). It sounds like Cherri bled for about 21 days? If she has stopped I am hoping she is now out of heat. You can do an ultrasound around 30 days from breeding to check for fetal heart beats or take an X-ray at day 50 to look for mineralized skeletons to confirm if she is pregnant. I hope this helps and have a great day!

I have 2 Weimaraners. 1 male and the other is female. She is a year old and in her second heat cycle. She was bleeding 2 weeks ago but is no longer bleeding. Her female area has decreased in swelling. Yesterday, the 2 dogs “connected” and were l
They only stand for breeding a few days each cycle. For them to actually mate then you do have a 50% chance that the pregnancy took and will be successful. There are no safe medications you can use to terminate from here besides having her spayed which will prevent all future pregnancies Your vet can do an ultrasound around day 18-20 as fetal heart beats will be evident to confirm a pregnancy for you.
