No, that is not something that is normally seen. With your pet being 6 years old and a larger greed based on the weight you have indicated, she is really past the recommended age for breeding. If she is still bleeding after nearly 4 weeks and it doesn’t appear to be subsiding, she should be checked out by a veterinarian. She may have a uterine infection starting. I would also discuss whether breeding her any more s recommended. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
