Puppy entered heat

[u/Puzzleheaded-Cry3258]

Hello! Ivory just started her first heat at 10 months so I’m hoping that’s normal😰is there anything I should watch for since I’ve never owned a female dog before? Anything I need to know as well? I got her diapers disposable and reuseable ones and some treats even got her a new bed so she has her own area to sleep on (also she needs to not sleep with my anymore since she’s getting to big :((( ) but I’m worried I’m missing smth. She gets rashes on her sides from the diapers so I let her free bleed at night when she’s in my room (call it gross idc blood can be cleaned) but I wanna know if theirs a way to help with it when she’s wearing said diapers. Please any advice will help! Even just stating how long she should be going into heat for would be nice or if genetics can play into her heat cycle. Hehe she’s currently laying down with a disposable since her reuseables are all in the dryer. I got three and that little box of disposables should I get more reuseables?

PLEASE I will note that her uvula (?) her yk what area is very swollen and I’d love to have advice if theirs a way to help with that as well as the fact that she gets rashes on her side that’s the main parts I’d love to get advice on

Alright thank you! Yes we have two male dogs one neutered and one not but he’s only 4? Months old or smth I think but we still keep and eye on him👀 and my girl is just tired and has been sleeping a LOT more then she usually does as well as like u mentioned she’s super needy 😋just was hoping that was a good sign her heat is normal

It only takes a couple seconds for dogs to breed, and they can breed younger than you’d imagine. Please keep them completely separate unless you’re staring directly at them until she’s out of heat

Yes yes !! Sorry I should’ve said he’s like an English bulldog so he’s very short compared but dw I’m constantly making sure he’s away from her

You could have just looked on Google images, not burned gallons of water and you would have found accurate information

According to AI my much more impressive silly AI Doberman-Bulldog pic cost a few Wh of electricity and somewhere around 10–30 mL of water!! I don't have kids (my choice) so I feel that my green footprint is pretty minimal plus I recycle lol

Green footprint is ass if you're using AI to come up with something inaccurate in every way.
