Our Boerboel had puppies 10 weeks ago. She totally weaned them 5 weeks ago. She was spotting 4 days ago, a small amount, and it only lasted for 2 days. I have her scheduled for spaying next week. Can her cycle hesitate and stop, then start up again before her spaying? She is well fed and gets plenty of exercise.

It could be her heat starting up again, but if she is showing no other signs of heat (enlarged vulva, enlarged nipples), the blood could be from something else like a UTI. Let the vet know, but even if she is in heat, the vet can spay her.
