1. It just sounds like the hormonal changes of being in 'heat' is causing stress at her age.. if she is still off, by the time she is out of season, then she would need a vet visit..Or, if she quits eating and drinking. My seven year old acts much the same when in 'heat'.
2. Maybe she is going through what women go through of a certain age, that may of been her last season, take her to the vets for piece of mind incase it is something else. Well worth £15. consultation fee.
3. The fact that she is urinating only small amounts, and that these are a darker colour than usual, indicates a bladder or kidney problem. Please take her to the vet, she could be uncomfortable or it could be something serious. It's worth the money just for your peace of mind!
4. She could be blocked, ie, swallowed something that's blocking her passage. Take her to the vet. Good Luck!
5. damms often go off food when in season, and you can expect urine to be pink, they also get tried.. talk to your vet, is the best advice for any animal health concerns?
6. I would take her to the vet sraight away, you can never be too carefull with older dogs. Hope shes ok
