My senior female dog is bleeding, smells bad, losing weight, won't eat.

Question

Hi Doc. My bitch has been bleeding for about a month now. I though initially it was going through a normal monthly cycle but the bleeding has continued and it is foul smelling. She has not been bred so far and she is about 10 years old. I am in distress as she has lost a lot of weight, she eats very little . Please help. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | 10 years and 1 month old | 60 lbs

This is very very concerning. You will need to take Zippy to a vet today. She may be suffering from a uterine infection (pyometra) which is a life-threatening condition. Usually, surgical removal of the uterus is the treatment. Please take her to a veterinarian now.
