Why would an 11yr old spayed pomeranian start to bleed?
First, are you sure she is spayed? (If adopted as an adult you may have been TOLDshe was spayed, but with females you cannot tell by sight like you can with a neutered male. On a female, feel and look for a spay scar on abdomen.)Reason I ask if you are SURE she is spayed is that vaginal bleeding in an older female dog is a sign of pyometra .... a very bad uterine infection. But it only happens in older female dogs that were NOT spayed. Take her to a vet, as pyometra often becomes serious to the point of life-threatening without prompt treatment.
Can a female dog still have her period at 10yrs old if not spayed?
In dogs, it is called a "heat". Female dogs will continue to have heats until they are spayed or they pass away. You should be aware that the older a female dog is, the higher risk there is for pyometra, which is an infection of the uterus. Symptoms can include vomiting, loss of appetite, and lethargy. If your older female is exhibiting any of these symptoms or any unusual behavior, you should take her in to be seen by a veterinarian.

Your spayed female cat still wanders for days why?
* Usually if you spay a female cat a young age, this isn't a problem, but if for some reason it isn't until maybe she is 3 or 4 (or older) years old, to wander is still part of her instinct. Many animals are this way.
Can female ferrets be kept together?
They can get along, but they don't get along as well as two male ferrets. Female ferrets, after they get spayed, are much more territorial than before they get spayed. If you are thinking of getting two ferrets, I suggest getting one male and one female. Of course, you should get them spayed and neutered, first.
Why would your older cat be mad at your newly spayed cat?

Are the benefits of altering a dog the same no matter what the age of the dog?
Most dogs should be spayed or neutered, yes. However, a very mellow dog may not need it, or an older dog, or a dog in ill health may not be a good candidate for the procedure. A female dog past puppy-bearing age doesn't need to be spayed any more. Talk to your vet about your concerns and what the options are.
