4 month old cane corso first heat?

Juliette is 4 months old and I found some blood stains on her pillow. I checked for cuts but nothing. Could it be that she is on her first cycle? I was thinking she wouldn't get it until she is older. Has anyone else had this happen to them?
Thanks

That would be really early for a heat cycle. Are her genitals swollen? Could she be teething or have lost some baby teeth?

I would say teething over heat cycle. It would be VERY early for her to go into season.

ditto teething, most giants have their first cycles after the 6 month point, some are closer to the year!

Denna's first heat started right at the 10 month mark.
4 months does sound like good candidate for losing teeth...

I would suspect teething or a some other slight injury. Heat cycles depend on the female but the females I have experience with are 8+ months and some not until 18 mths.

I'm hoping Carma (7 months) doesn't go into heat until 18 months. I'm not explaining that to my 3 and 5 yr olds. "So daddy, where does that blood come from"...Ask your mother!!!!!!!!!!!
