So, Lucy is about 11 months old. She went into heat a little over a month ago. She hasn't been bleeding for about a week and a half now but her nipples are still enlarged and her vulva still looks a bit big although not swollen nearly as big as it was. I was wondering if those of yall who have experience with females in their first heat think she is still in heat or if she will just keep her bigger nipples and vulva. I wasn't sure if they would shrink back down to almost the size before or if when she gets spayed if they will shrink down at all. As far as I know her cooch will be a bit bigger than a dog that has been spayed before the first heat, but I am not 100% sure, which is why I am asking you guys. I'm pretty sure that females that have been in heat don't have enlarged nipples after spaying unless they have had puppies right? I am planning on getting her spayed within the next month before anyone comes to the conclusion that I am just not going to get her spayed. I have been really responsible with keeping her away from other dogs during her heat. P.S. There is NO chance that she has been knocked up. At all. P.P.S. I apologize if this is a stupid question. My last dog was a male and I got him neutered right away when I got him at a year old and all the dogs my family has had were older shelter dogs who were spayed when we got them. So, this is my first experience with a "fertile" dog so to speak.

The clinics here will do it once the dog stops bleeding.

The ones here will as well. I was mostly wondering if people thought she still might be in heat or if she will just always look like that. It doesn't matter either way to me, I have just been wondering.
