How long does a Chihuahua's heat cycle last?

Question

I have a 10 month old Chihuahua and she has been in heat for about 3 weeks. Is this normal? She is still showing signs of being in heat but is not bleeding anymore. We have a male chi who has been neutered for months and she hasn't been outside at all so she can't be pregnant. Is something wrong with her? Any websites or articles would be appreciated!

Answer 1

heat cycle is 21 days and not breed specific.

Answer 2

Yes this is normal

dogs are in heat for an average of 21 days.

Dogs have what is called an estrus cycle.
