Swollen vagina

Hayley • 25, mommy to Milo 👦🏻💙 and Ollie 👶🏼💗

So my dog went through her first heat and she’s done now. Her vagina is still very swollen, which I know is normal and it can take a while to go down, but it’s almost grey looking? Definitely not pink like it was in heat. Is this normal? She was not given the chance to mate, so she’s not pregnant.

**Don’t comment if you’re gonna give me shit for not spaying yet. She’s a large breed and the vet recommended waiting until after because of the risk of incontinence. We are getting her spayed as soon as she’s able to be.**
