Hi Tom
Hope your well? I’ve a bitch that looked to have come in season but stopped bleeding after 10 days, she has no swelling either. Do you reckon this might be false, I didn’t think she would bleed for that long if it was.

Hi Sean,
A bitch coming on season normally bleeds for seven to nine days before entering the estrus phase, however this phase can be interfered with by any type of strenuous exercise, such as solid free running in a long run or yard on a daily basis.
It’s also possible in a young bitch having her first season that some of the physical symptoms such as vulva swelling is minimal, however I would still watch her closely as I have seen bitches that have had a delayed reaction and have come on full season five or six days after bleeding has stopped.
Keep in mind that the average length of estrus is 9 days but can vary up to 21 days
Cheers, Tom
