Is it normal for my dog to bleed for 24 hours during false pregnancy?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | American Pit Bull Terrier | Female | unspayed | 60 lbs

My dog is experiencing a false pregnancy. The vet said she would go through labor and there would be bloody discharge. It will be 24hrs since she started at 3am and she is still discharging a lot of bloody discharge. Is it normal for her to be bleeding this long?

Hello and thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. It is definitely not normal for a dog to bleed for such a long time. Please, take Cammie back to your vet as potentially she may have poymetra or bleed from the uterus, which should be treated as an emergency.
