If she is not spayed she is likely coming into a heat cycle. Dogs are usually in heat for about 3 weeks. The first week they have a red discharge, then the second a clear or straw colored discharge, then almost no discharge the last week. Dogs go into heat at any time between 6-12 months usually. They are not normally bred until their third heat to make sure they are mature in body and mind before having to raise pups of their own. Usually they come in heat every 6 months after the first heat. You have to keep them away from all male dogs the entire heat cycle to avoid pregnancy and this includes not leaving them unsupervised in your yard as males may go over or under fences to get at a female in heat. If she is spayed sometimes a hormonal imbalance can cause swelling of the vulva. This can be from illness or a tumor. Hope this helps you!
