My 7-month-old female dog is bleeding and not eating. Is it her heat?

Question

Hi, would like to ask about my female dog, Japanese spitz 7 months old puppy. She recently did not finish her food and left half. Only when I go over ask her to her finish and she'll finish it. These few days she did not drink much water too. Yesterday night she poop and some blood came out from her butt. The poop has no blood. Would like to heard an advise about these. Today she still eat half of her food only. Will it be her first period coming soon? Pet's info: Dog | Japanese Spitz | Female | unspayed | 7 months and 27 days old | 14 lbs

Yes she should be starting her period soon. You know that a pet is having their period because you will see a very swollen vagina and sometimes a decrease in appetite. So this could explain what you are seeing. Look at Hina's genital area to see if it is indeed swollen. A pets period lasts anywhere from 2-4 weeks on average. And the decrease in appetite is normal during the first week of a pets menstrual cycle, but should improve gradually. If the blood is not coming from her genital area and is instead coming from her rectum, then its best to have her seen by your vet for further treatment. I hope everything works out well for your pet Hina. Take care.
