Why is my female pit bleeding, lethargic, and not eating for days?

Question

My female pit is very lethargic bleeding and has not eaten in about five days we have given her Pedialyte and tried force-feeding her and she still lost a lot of weight and very non energetic at all. Pet's info: Dog | American Pit Bull Terrier | Female | unspayed | 50 lbs

Poor Queen! I would be very concerned that her bleeding is due to a pyometra. This is a life threatening infection of the uterus, and it would also cause her to be very lethargic and not want to eat. A pyometra is fatal without treatment, and I would have Queen seen by a vet immediately. The vet can do a physical exam, blood tests, urinalysis, and x-rays to diagnose what is causing her symptoms so she can be treated. If she does have a pyometra, spaying her is part of the recommend treatment. Please take her into a vet now.
