I have a 13 year old beagle mix, who is heavy set, and still eats what she
wants, but seems happy and great appetite. however, for 3 days she seems to
be dribbling blood, wonder if this is still normal, and how long would this
last? she isnt spayed. Thanks, Nan


Wow you people are really jumping on this one.could the dog just be in a heat cycle ? Older unspayed females can still come into season

Correct, unlike human females, they just slow down on how often they go
into heat. Older spay females are also horribly prone to breast cancer
(most starts behind the back legs at the back most set). At age 13
unspayed, this female is in the 25% chance of it catagory. Spaying now
will not reduce it. It's too late.
