Help! Her energy is back to normal. No, more than normal. She wants to go outside every five minutes.
I am giving her some ground beef and she is eating. Tried some chicken with bone again and she refused it. Now her poop is runny. Not really diarhea but very, very runny and black and slimy. Don't know if it's the food or the heat.
New twist today also is she is having a lot of little pees. Not just little pees but started dribbling tonight after I brougt her in.
Wants out all the time, circles around, sniffs, starts to pee and then looks for another spot but still doesn't really go.
I hope this is all just normal for being in heat but I don't know now if it is where I have started her on raw (a few weeks ago) still having potty training problems or what. But she is driving me crazy now.
Any advice?

Well, I would have her checked for UTI....the runs may be caused by the beef if you are feeding a lot of that.
Is she still bleeding or is she slowing down or done with that?

The bleeding has stopped.
The pee'ing thing just started this evening.
If it persists till Monday, I will go to vet.
I have a gut feeling that it has to do with the heat and constantly wanting to go outside.
There are stray dogs around and they have left numerous calling cards, plus eye contact has been made. I have had my hands full the past week.
I am wondering if she is holding going to pee just so she can stay out longer. Plus we haven't been able to walk as much due to the stray (or rather unattended dogs as they obvious have owners). So I am thinking that she is putting doing potty because that buys her more time outside.
Is that possible or am I humanizing. She's driving me crazy. I finally put her in her crate with a sheet over it.
She rarely barks in her crate but when she does that usually means an emergency potty break, so does it sound like she is using that as a ploy to go outside more just to sniff for the other dogs?

She can't help it/she's not doing it to annoy you. She has to pee more often because she's in heat. It puts more scent out to draw in the males. That is nature's way.

Yeah, from what I know, some females will want to get with a male just as bad as a male wanting a female and since she is probably receptive (in standing heat or close to it) she may be trying to dupe you into letting her go find a man.... 
Maybe call your vet and ask if he wants to check for UTI or wait until heat is over according to the symptoms....you could always catch some urine yourself and drop it off too, that way is cheaper.

Thanks Debbie and Carole.
It makes sense about spreading around the scent because she is kinda chasing aroudn where the other dogs have left their calling cards and pees a little, sniffs around, on an on. Crazy
I hope this is over soon.
It even seems to be interferring with the ob training. She just doesn't seem to have as much interest.
I'm still not sure about the food. At first I thought just the stress and all, so for a few meals I have given her the ground beef, but now I don't if the runny poop is from that or from the heat. I've finnaly talked my self out of it, but I almost went back to dog food. Also, I mixed some yogurt and pumpkin in with the ground beef tonight.
Crappy small town, when I went to look for yogurt, there was absolutely no plain yogurt. The most plain I could get was vanilla so I gave her some of it anyway, hoping that would help the runnies.

I highly agree with Carol. Its starting to sound like a possible UTI, you should definitly get it checked out. Though, if she is in heat, it may be hard for the vet to determine if she also has a UTI since any blood present in the urine could be from the heat. I wonder how common it is to have both a heat and uti occur at the same time?
When she dribbled in the house, she was also walking aroung in circles. THat has also been happening in the past couple days.
I am sure she is going in circles because she is tethered to me and that is as far as she can go.
If I try to catch a urine, I think I read something here in the past few days about catching it on a pee pad. How do you do that? Ring it out? (Sorry if that sound stupid)

Yeah. The phrase 'bitch in heat' is taking on a whole new meaning.

I would use a ladle or you can use a clean chuck-it to catch it, place it in a clean sealed container and refridgerate until you can drop it off.
Short leash, and when she squats, just calmly put the "catch" device under her.
I have never heard the pee pad technique.....
