Question
my 4 yr mini dachsaund has had vaginal bleeding now for a little over two wks. I know they have bleeding for a few days, but i am not sure if this normal.

Answer
Hi Tracy

If she's not be spayed then I would say she's in heat.  A heat cycle last about 21 days.  With the first 10 plus days of them involves bleeding and discharge.

After the bleeding she will be ovulating and ready to be bred.  And all the neighbourhood dogs will start knocking on your door. So it's the perfect time to put her in a locked tower, or at the very least, don't leave her out of your sight for one minute.

Good luck.
