My dog was spayed in heat. How long will she bleed and vulva swell?

Question

I had my dig spayed while she was in heat how long will she bleed from the heat cycle after she has been fixed also how long before her valvua or whatever it's called swelling goes down. Pet's info: Dog | American Pit Bull Terrier | Female | 1 year old | 50 lbs

The hormones can stay around for several weeks after a dog in heat is spayed, so you can expect some bleeding for another week or two. The vulvar swelling should decrease some after that, but I will say that for some dogs the vulva stays large after just one heat cycle.
