Just over 2 weeks ago Inca was mated ..........Her season then came to an end about a week after the 2nd mating took place .......Today she has started spotting blood again, is this something to be concerned about ??........Thanks in advance .............Hannah and Inca :huggles:

Sorry Hannah, I can't help i've never had that happen.

Hi Hanna. This happened to my sisters first whippet, she went on bleeding for 6 weeks and still produced a lovely litter of four healthy pups. :thumbsup:

But if it becomes at all smelly or she has a temp whisk her down to the vets to be on the safe side.

 

[Strike Whippets]

Thanks ......I'll keep an eye on her

Inca's bleeding slightly more now (a browny red colour), but she hasn't got a temprature and she seems fine in herself .......And ate all of her tea ......I guess I'll just have to wait and see, but I'm not counting on any pups

don't know much about dogs, but used to be a midwife for humans and I know that some human females get an implantation bleed that lasts for four days or so when the embryo beds into the uterine wall. When do canine embryos implant? Could this be a similar phenomenon?

Helen :blink:

Thanks ......I phoned my vet this afternoon and it might not be good .....but as she hasn't got a temp, the blood/discharge dosn't smell and she hasn't gone off her food then I think we'll have to wait and see for the time being :sweating: :blink:

Best of luck Hanna :luck: Let us know how she gets on.

) Hello Hannah,

Sorry to write this but I agree with Lana. Get her to a vet. Ask for a swab to be done. This will identify what the problem is. If their is a problem at least you will be able to deal with it. If she is just having a funny pregnacy at least your mind will be at rest. Jill. :teehee:

Inca has been to our vets this morning and everything looks ok......temps fine and a swabs been done.......just waiting for the results ...........Can you tell this is the first time i've ever done this ?? :sweating:

Hi Hannah,

When bitches come into season they can and sometimes do pick up an infection.

Evan when mated. It can be called an infection if caught early and treated. But if an infection is not treated it can become what is called pyrometra. This translates into two catogorities closed and open pyrometra. Closed pyrometra is when the uterus if full of pus and can not get out. Open is when it can get out. Their is no GOOD pyrometra but if you ever do have it pray for an open one.

Please I do not want to distress you, but taking her for a swab is the best thing to do. Should there be anything wrong it easy to treat NOW. If left, and she does have an infection, it could become very nasty and very costley.

Please keep us updated on Inca's progress, and I hope she is only being a silly girl and having a funny pregnancy. If there is nothing wrong I apoligise for up setting you, but then better to be sure than sorry. Jill :teehee:

Came across this link whilst surfing and thought it may be of interest as there can be varied reasons for spotting.
