How can you tell if a female dog is spayed (fixed)?

I’ve had bonnie (my pitbull) since she was probably around 3 months and I’ve had her for half a year now. I was never sure if she was fixed or not but there seems to be a scar on her tummy from when dogs gets spayed. I assume that she is spayed because my female chihuahua had the same scar once we got her fixed. But today, after bathing Bonnie, I discovered that her nipples were all big and her vagina is swollen. AND she’s bleeding down there…What is going on?

Answer #1

If you thought she was spayed, and there is a scar…then it’s hard to tell…I’d get her into the Vets and see what’s going on. Usually if you get even a pup from the shelter, they are spayed. (Just saying they can and DO spay any shelter pup as soon as they can…9 weeks isn’t to early)…

Answer #2

You ask the vet. Given her age, you should be getting her regular shots and checkups?

Answer #3

I don’t know a lot about dogs but if she was 3 months old, I don’t think spaying gets done that soon, I could be mistaken though. The best thing you could do is to take her to get looked over by a vet, don’t take any chances.

Answer #4

so basically she shouldn’t be bleeding if she is spayed right?
