Can you still spade the animal after their first period?
You mean spay, and you can spay a dog or cat at any time after about 2 weeks, but it is usual to allow the dog to get at least most of its adult size first. The usual time most US dogs are spayed is at about 6 months or so, which corresponds with their average first estrus, or period. There is no other connection between having an estrus cycle and getting a dog spayed, although this incorrect belief is widespread. A dog does not need to have had an estrus cycle before spaying. Male dogs should be about 6 months before neutering for the same growth-related reasons.
Is it normal for a female dogs Vagina to swell during her heat cycle?
Yes, it is normal for the vulva (the outer area of the female genitals, outside the vagina, including the labia) to swell, and for blood or other fluids to drip from the vagina. When the dog is in estrus, she is fertile, so you might want to keep her indoors to prevent pregnancy. To avoid the mess and behavior problems often associated with estrus, and unwanted puppies, have your dog spayed.
