Hi, just joined the site today, so hope I'm going about this the right way. My 7 mo. old (supposed chihuahua mix), Zoe, got her 1st period about a week ago. A couple days before the bleeding started, her external genitalia (vulva?) got swollen. Now, it's huge. She is almost resembling a boy down there, and it's starting to freak me out a little. My question: is this normal, and when will her stuff go back to normal?? Zoe is my first puppy, so I am not real kean on the canine menstural cycle. I was not aware that this would happen so soon in her life. I do plan on getting her spayed as soon as all this is over. Any advice would help....I don't want to bring her to the vet for something perfectly normal.
Thanks,
Cat
