If it is a discharge, this can happen for several weeks. As long as it isn't foul smelling or have a green or black color, usually is normal otherwise. If it is red blood, she needs to go to the vet. Uterine infections can happen and they should be treated immediately.

Thanks Robbie! It's bright red and alot. I have an appointment with my vet in about an hour. I appreciate your quick response.

Just wanted to ask...has she vomited, or does she appear weak, have you checked her temp to see if she has a fever?

Normal temp is around 101. So that's good, she doesnt have a fever.

I'm very happy that she doesn't have fever. I'm only about 20 minutes from the vet and about to go crazy waiting to leave. I even fixed her hair so that she would look pretty You know we all do that when we go to the dr

The vet said that some dogs will have bleeding up until 6 wks after delivery of pups but 7 wks was unusual. Kayla didn't have a temp at the vet either and he said that it's possible that she's just going through this later than normal. I will be watching her for any signs of trouble and will call them immediately if something goes wrong. The bleeding has stopped which I am thankful for.

Thanks for your support.

I'm glad that you took Kayla to the vet. If at all in question it's best to do so. I hope that she'll finish her bleeding and it won't appear again. Since there's no fever it's probably that she's just a little late in "wrapping" everything up...
