My dog's heat cycle is lasting over 19 days. Is this normal?

Question

My German shepherd is on her heat cycle for more than 19 days from now . I have done her mating on 10 and 12 day of her periods . I want to know is it normal if her periods last for such a long time . Now it is very deep red in color. Few months ago she was anaemic but I have treated her with thrombofit syrup. Is it normal if her periods last for such a long time . I mean she is still on her periods. I will be waiting for your reply doctor. Thank you so much. Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Female | unspayed | 3 years and 1 month old | 88.185 lbs

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Alsa. Yes, this is still normal. Most heat cycles will last approximately 18-21 days in a dog. If she does not stop bleeding after this amount of time, begins bleeding elsewhere (nose bleeds, bloody vomit, etc) or is acting ill, then she will need to see her veterinarian. I hope this information helps!
