What complications can occur for dogs spayed during heat? General Dog Discussions
I recently got a dog from a shelter and they required her to be spayed (while in heat) before I took her home. Ever since I picked her up from being spayed (7 days ago) she has had vaginal bleeding (small drops here and there) as if she is still in heat. Is she finishing out her heat cycle that had already started even though she was spayed? Or, is this a sign of a more serious complication or a botched operation. Also, otherwise she appears to be totally healthy, happy, energetic, playfull, hungry, etc. etc. She has another appointment with a vet soon, but I thought that I might get a quick answer here on whether or not I should be concerned. Thanks for your help.
