My Pomeranian is bleeding heavily after breeding. Is it a miscarriage?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Pomeranian | Female | spayed | 2 years and 4 months old | 15 lbs

Hi, we noticed our 2 year old Pomeranian recently got into heat on September 24 and she tied with our male Pom on October 6 and again on October 8. It’s been almost 3 weeks since we noticed her heat and 2 days ago she started spotting but today all day she’s been bleeding quite a lot more than normal. She leaves blood stained everywhere ! I’m just scared that she’ll lose a lot of blood or have a miscarriage. She is also obese for a Pomeranian and we think she has a collapsed trachea as well.

If she is spotting she should be examined by your vet. Bleeding that much this far after breeding is not normal. She really should not be bred if she has a collapsing trachea as it is a hereditary condition. She is quite young to already have collapsing trachea so it must be pretty significant - either that or she has something else going on all together. I strongly recommend you speak to your vet before breeding her - you need to get a proper diagnosis as to what is going on with her trachea and honestly, she should not be bred until she is her normal body weight.
