justnikky Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Hi I have a 2 year old French Bulldog bitch who had a full heat 7 months ago. Early this month she had swelling for 5 days then it went down, she swelled again last week for 2 days and then back to normal I am unsure as to whether this is a false heat or something more sinister. She is in excellent health, no obvious signs of heat yet the swelling up looked like the real thing then went down overnight. Is there anyone else who has had this happen?

Sandra777 Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Normal IMO if she seems fine in every other way. She'll probably come in season in a week or two. Mine frequently do this on their first heat, and a number have done it for life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justnikky Posted March 27, 2011 Author Share Posted March 27, 2011 Thanks for that. This is her second heat. It was so real I booked her flight to Brisbane etc and then........nothing Then last week swelling again and then 2 days later back to normal. I hope you are right. Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogsfevr Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 We haven't had that happen like that ,if your really concerned & the plan is to mate her i would be getting a swab done . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparkyTansy Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 if she doesn't come back in, I'd consider prog testing her from day one next time, particularly if you have to fly her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
