Pet's info: Dog | American Pit Bull Terrier | Female | unspayed | 5 years and 4 months old | 68 lbs
My 5 year old pitbull is "spotting" 2 months after her heat cycle. It has been once a week ish that just a tiny bit of awful smelling blood comes out. What should I do?

I'd have Iszadora seen by a vet immediately. This "spotting" could be due to a pyometra, which is an infection of the uterus that is fatal without treatment. Please take her into a vet now. If she does have a pyometra, she will need to be spayed. Best of luck.
