Answer
Hello Bruce and thank you for your question, This isnt a heat cycle the heat cycle lasts only two weeks goes from blood red to clear in that time. It almost sounds like her anal scent glands are leaking.... they might be impacted. Call your locle vet and discrube whats happening what it smells like and how much of it there is and they will be able to teel you if its her anal scent glands leaking....in which case the fluid would be coming from her...anus. The vet would be able to unblock them or drain them for her.
