FranVT Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 I was playing with Luuka in the yard today and she rolled over for her usual tummy rubs. I first noticed that the fur on her vulva was wet but I thought she'd done a wee until I noticed that there was blood around her vulva. She was born on the 18th of October 2009 making her just over 4 months old. Is it possible that she's in season!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxx'sBuddy Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 could it be a UTI? is she weeing a lot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FranVT Posted February 21, 2010 Author Share Posted February 21, 2010 Nope, not more than usual, I slept in this morning until like 10am and she didn't even stir to be let out for a wee until I woke up. She has been a tiny bit sookier than normal as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W Sibs Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 I think a trip to the vet is in order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumabaar Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 (edited) Does her vulva look swollen? And is the blood comming from inside the vulva? I have not heard of any Lappies comming in that early. Perhaps check with the breeder as I am not sure about their lines but it does seem a little unusual for the breed in general. +1 for the vet if it continues and you are doubting it is a season.

FranVT Posted February 21, 2010 Author Share Posted February 21, 2010 Okay I called the vet, she agreed that it's very early to be coming in, I told her she was otherwise normal (she's happily playing in the yard outside with mum's border collie) and she said to give her a bath or a clean up anyway, see if there's any more blood and where it's coming from and if anything changes (more blood, unusual behaviour, diarrhoea or vomiting etc) then to bring her to the surgery. Which I will definitely do. I love my baby girl I'm not ready for her to grow up yet! Going to give her a bath now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miranda Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Probably a stupid question, but are you sure it's blood? Staining on the hair around the vulva can look red and resemble blood. Have you actually touched it to check? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FranVT Posted February 21, 2010 Author Share Posted February 21, 2010 Hmm, no, but it is dark red in colour and our soil is brown... I guess I'll soon find out if she keeps bleeding or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dame Aussie Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 A friend of mine had a Beagle x that came into season at around 4 months so I guess it's possible. Good luck at the vets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persephone Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Get a white tissue or cotton bud- see what it looks like on that If it has the colour/consistency of blood..... put a pic up if you like /aren't sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogsfevr Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 I have had dogs in season at 4 months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumabaar Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 OK spoke to another Lappie owner. A lappie has come in at 4mths!! Hope you manage to keep her clean for more than 5sec- which is how long Demi stays clean post bath LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellz Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 If she has been licking at herself her saliva could stain the hair red as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FranVT Posted February 22, 2010 Author Share Posted February 22, 2010 She was licking herself quite abit down there, that could be what it was, no more blood at all though so I think I'm safe ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laneka Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 I have a Rotty bitch here who came into season at 4mths. It was a three day season, came back into season at 7mths (a proper season) as has been every 6mths ever since. She has whelped two litters. I think it is just an early hormonal thing.

moko81 Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 we have a bulldog bitch who, same scenario came into season at 4mths for a couple days which the vets said was a spilt season then again at 8mths full season. Others breeders vets found it unusual that this happened as it is not normal. Think she maybe coming into season again as her vulva is starting to swell no blood yet though & she is now 13mths. Have taken her to get check ups etc with the vets saying everything's okay. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lappiemum Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 hey Fran, its possible although not common! The ways to check are for swelling around the vulva and spotting - if you gently press on the vulva area you should have blood tinged liquid seep out. There will also be blood coloured droplets on the floor etc which you will no doubt spot fairly soon. I know its a long shot, but didn't you change over her diet recently? There could be a urinary reaction there, although I agree its just as unlikely! Give M a call and have a chat, or if you want call me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
