My puppy is in heat

Question
Hi, my girl puppy, about 10 months old, went into heat about 2 weeks ago. Well she has had swollen genitals for a week, and now i notice a couple sores on it. I give her baths to keep her clean. Should i be worried or is there more wrong than just being in heat?

Answer
Hi Brandy:  She may have sores or open areas because she is cleaning herself.  I would keep and eye on the area.  Call your vet if it appears to get worse and larger in size.

It may just heal itself over a few days.

Thanks for your question!
