Hello shingade,
Is she "entire"? Or has she been spayed? I am guessing she's entire, am I right?

I'm sorry I don't quite understand what you meant when you said: "Even we consulted d veterinary doubting about the cancer but nothing was shown in the test result".

Does that mean the vet suspects she has cancer? Or that you did? But there was a test which shows she doesn't have cancer?

I'm sorry to be all questions but I couldn't understand that.

Bleeding constantly from the vagina is not normal. Bleeding -usually in small amounts at a time -IS normal for a couple of weeks during the "season" or "heat cycle" of course. Also, during the heat cycle (usually in the middle, for a couple or more days either side of 10 or so days in), it is normal for the vulva to swell. But usually the bleeding has dried up by that stage. That is the stage when they are ready to mate.

But continual bleeding for one month shows something is wrong.
She either has uterine problems, or serious bladder problems such as bladder stones, polyps or something causing irritation.
Or she has a chronic Pyometra (if she is entire)

I am surprised the vet didn't give you more feedback about this! What is his/her suggestion? What other tests did the vet run?

I would defintely have run a full blood panel, and check white blood cell count, and probably have taken a sample to see if there was any infection in the discharge.
Possibly an ultrasound scan of her bladder, and certainly urinalysis to check for bacteria in the urine. If it is a bladder infection, it's possible a course of antibiotics will clear it.

If it is Pyometra, then it is serious and she needs her womb removed.
If it is a bladder issue then that is also serious too, and needs attention quickly.

Surely the vet would discuss this with you? Or do some more investigation?

If you are not happy with that vet please do find another one for a second opinion.
