The Doctors can't figure it out. It happened to my Grandmother as well (at 70). I wondered if the return of my period had anything to do (strange as it sounds) with my mini Italian Greyhound being in heat and sleeping in my bed. Her mensus blood got on the sheets for a few nights and it was quite messy. It got on me too. I washed everything, but still her hormones touched my skin for several days. So I might have had a dermal hormonal infusion from the dog. Does that sound plausible?
You do hear of women living under one roof getting their periods all at the same time. But does this apply to dogs as well?

From what I remember on my OB/GYN rotation vaginal bleeding after menospause is very suspicious for several things. Among them, the most common are endometrial cancer and atrophic endometritis (more common).
Your dog's hormones are quite different from your own and have different mechanisms so they would not affect you the same. Women living under one roof can alter the menstrual patterns of each other, but this is not the case for post-menopausal women.
If I were you I would go and see your OB/GYN and let them know what's going on. They will likely do an endometrial biopsy to make sure that there are no atypical cells in your endometrium. Also since you are post menopausal it could be atrophic endometritis which is caused by decreased blood flow to the endometrium (lining of the uterus) which leads to bleeding.
I find it odd that your doctors can't figure out what's going on. Like I said above go see your OB/GYN. I hope this helps.

Canine and human hormones are not the same. Other wise humans could inpregnate animals. Suddenly starting a period after menopause is the first sign of uterine cancer or cycsts. See your doctor who will do an exam and most likely an ultrasound to make sure you are alright. This is a silent cancer so it's often overlooked until something like a period shows up. Early detection is very important to increase your survival rate.

Well yes, I have heard of the two women, thing and they only need to spend time togather, they don't have to even be in the same house, Has your Dr, checked your hormone level ? Or done a pap test lately? It might be a good idea to have one , if you haven't. I do know that spotting , when your under deep stress, with the loss of a loved one ,happens.
