Answer #1

Depending on how many puppies she had will impact the amount of bleeding. Think of this each puppy she had rip away for the inside of your dog and created a sore when it exited her body. This is not exact but as each placenta tears away from the inside of the uterine horn their is a rare spot created that must heal. Thus the bleeding. 2 pups there is not as much bleeding as say 9. As long as the blood does not have a bad odor and is not dark green after a couple of days your dog is fine.

Harley is correct in saying that 6-8 months is about when you dog will come back into heat. Except some dogs only come into heat once a year. My Boxers and two Bostons only come into heat once a year.

Get your dog spayed and you will not have to worry about it. Call around and check the prices. Some Vets charge less than others. Some Animal Shelters offer a coupon. Some cities have a clinic or van that goes around and does this for a small fee. See if your city does any of these.

Answer #2

A dog will go in heat every 6-8 months, it is normal for them to bleed after having babies, If there is any concern to the amount of blood she is having or the color, it is best to bring it to your vet’s attention.
