Why is my female dog bleeding, swollen, and acting aggressive?

Question

My 10 month old female dog developed sudden vulvar bleeding and her vulva is swollen. She is dripping blood around the house although it hasn’t been 3 months since her previous cycle and also her previous cycle wasn’t as heavy. She licks her vulva constantly. She is also becoming aggressive to my other male dog. Pet's info: Dog | Coton de Tulear | Female | unspayed | 1 year and 9 months old

It's not common in younger dogs, but a pyometra can happen and would cause these symptoms. A pyometra is an infection of the uterus that is fatal without treatment. I would be very concerned about this possibility, and I would take Luana into a vet immediately. Best of luck.
