    Ya know, I think if she is getting particularly dirty, she may actually appreciate a good bath. Being clean does wonders for the disposition of most animals. I mean, I guess the only thing you shouldn't do is like, try to clean her out or whatever, don't stick anything inside, just wash the area gently and thoroughly. I've never had a dog but I'm just talking from a mammalian logic perspective. I think the diaper/liner thing sounds like a great idea, especially since they are made to absorb quickly and neutralize odor.

    My dog is having her second heat cycle, and is still bleeding from her vagina. She's quite dirty and in need of a bath. Anything I should know before doing so? Is it dangerous to bathe while bleeding? How can I towel her off without getting the towel bloody? HELP!!!

    How many days has she been bleeding? Dogs go through about a 21 day heat cycle. Would this be her first or second heat? As for bathing, that is fine. I agree with the other poster who mentioned about the doggie panties. That's what I put my female in when she had her first heat. They have some very cute ones if you are looking for something fun.

    Second, are you planning on breeding her? If not, I would encourage you to get her spayed, but the vet won't fix her til she is out of heat.

    How about doing to responsible thing and having her spade?

    ETA: Did not read through before I commented. Thank you for doing that. Goodness knows we do not need more puppies that never find a home to love them.

    How about doing to responsible thing and having her spade? There's enough dogs out there that don't have homes and are put down everyday.

    This is the exact reason why I refuse to have a female child or buy any female animal.

    Shoulda inquired about that when you bought the thing...google it.

    Also...its spayed...not spade. If she did that to her dog, she would need to be arrested. lol

    What's with the hostility in here? Anyway, yes, wash her with warm water and dry her off with a designated towel. Does no harm and can prevent matting around that area. You may have to reschedule the spaying though, as I believe you need to wait 6(I think) weeks after her season to do it.

    FYI to all..... Peroxide takes out blood very well from anything. Carpets, clothing, towels. Just my 2 cents. I have a female and she had a few heats, because we were going to breed, then I had her fixed. My kids and I would have wanted to keep the puppies. Another FYI, My Lab has gotten super fat afterwards. Like as in pin head blown up tick fat. Before you all say anything, we measure the food, and the dogs get fed once a day period. no table food, ect. We are strict with the dogs because they are show dogs. My kids train them for the 4-H fair and my male Lab has won Agility in the State Fair on year. So, point being is she may get fat afterwards for no reason. Vet and our trainers say that some dogs do.

    Get her fixed.
    Scheduled for the 18th, actually.

    In all seriousness, check with your vet to make sure she can get spayed now. Some vets won't do the surgery if she's in heat or has recently been in heat, and may want you to reschedule.

    There is no problem with bathing her in regular dog shampoo. You will need to get her a doggie diaper to wear while she is bleeding typically their heat cycle lasts 3 weeks and don't let outside off leash as a female in heat can attract a male dog from miles away. I would highly recommend getting her SPAYED then you won't have to worry with this twice yearly. There are a lot of health benefits for her ( like preventing ovarian and uterine cancers) and you won't have to worry about her getting pregnant and having puppies. To many animals end up in shelters unwanted please don't contribute to the pet over population!!

    Give your dog a bath - it's ok. Lol. Women bathe while menstruating!

    Kinda what I was thinking!

    Bathing would be very dangerous. It might attract sharks.

    Just give her a bath as you normally would. If the towel gets bloody then soak it it cold water, and wash as normal.

    make sure you ask the dog first how she feels! what if the dog is pro life? what right do you have to remove her rights as a female???

    Peroxide? Make sure you rinse it out good afterward. It's corrosive. Or something.

    We did, actually. It's messy, but they're good with it. Will still be in heat, but should be done bleeding by then.
