I have a 8 month old toy poodle who came into her first heat 18 days ago. First thing is that she never had any discharge bloody or otherwise. She has just had swelling. Is that normal or should I be concerned? How long will it take for the swelling to subside? Should it be gone by day 21or does it sometimes take a little longer?

21 days.7 to come in heat ,7 in (3 bleeding,them 4 for breeding),7 to go out.Not all 1st heat cycles are breedable (bleeding).Dogs should not be bred until 2 years of age, so their insides are mature enough.

Well not all dogs have discharge.. ITs better for you if they don't, that don't mean like u said they can't swell.. is she registered? If she is and u are planning on breeding her, with AKC, they have to be a 1 year old to be able to breed cause they aren't fullly devloped at 8 months old! GOOD LUCK
