14 yr old toy poodle, bleeding from vagina, never spayed or pregnant. Did have tumors removed a few yrs back. No Vets available today, what can I do, what is wrong with her?

As a veterinarian, it is most likely your dog has pyometra and needs to be spayed ASAP to save her life

I'm sorry, I just noticed the 'tags' on your post which are "heavy bleeding".

This sounds like an emergency. I cannot say what might be wrong. But she needs to see a vet, or emergency vet I think. As soon as possible.

Could this simply be her "Heat cycle"? Dogs do not go through menopause. If they remain "entire" they will have Heat cycles as long as they live. It depends how much blood she is losing, and also her general well-being.

I she is showing any signs at all of being under-par, or unwell, this could be something has gone wrong.This blood could be coming from her womb, or from her bladder. Either way she does need to see the vet as soon as possible.

When you say she had tumors removed....where from? Her bladder, womb, or somewhere else?
