Question:
Hi,

My dog is having her first heat. She is a Havanese approximately 12 lbs. and is just over a year old. My concern is about the amount of blood. She was dripping all over, I finally went and bought her pads and belt, it works really well. Can dogs become anemic? Is there any concern about a dog losing too much blood and should I change her diet. She seems fine, still playful.

Any information anyone has would be really appreciated.

Thanks,

Cotton

Answer:
Yes, if she is bleeding excessively, get her to a vet ASAP. Normally, there is just some blood spotting, not heavy bleeding. You need to make sure she is not hemorrhaging.

Of course, I recommend you get her spayed.
