But what about the vaginal bleeding that dog owners notice coming from unspayed dogs? You're not imagining it. It happens. But vaginal bleeding happens at an entirely different point in the cycle!

In a period, bleeding happens when the endometrium is shed. It happens after ovulation. In animals with an estrus cycle, bleeding sometimes occurs - but it happens *before* ovulation. It's a sign that the endometrium is building up.
