My spayed dog is bleeding. Could she be in heat or is it serious?

Question

My 11 year old fixed female yorkie is bleeding either from her vulva or her kidneys. Do fixed dogs have heats? Pet's info: Dog | Yorkshire Terrier | Female | spayed | 10 years and 2 months old | 16 lbs

If a dog is spayed correctly they not long have heat cycles and should not be spotting or bleeding. If there is a discharge noted, it is best to start with a urine sample and an ultrasound to look at the bladder and kidneys and look at the cervix to see if there is an infection or a growth.
