Question
My boxer is in her first heat, and my wife and had some concerned about how long the heat will last. It's been 2 weeks and there is no sigh of stopping soon is this normal

Answer
Her cycle normally last 28-20 days each time, every 5-6 months.

If it doesn't last that length of time, or if she doesn't have her heat cycle every 5-6 months, have her thyrroid checked.
