It is probably a split heat but I would at least call the vet and see what they want to do. |
With pyometra the bitch does not bleed. If she had open pyometra she would have a creamy puss discharge.
In regard to split heat:

There is also a condition known as "split heat". This condition results in two heat cycles occurring within two to twelve weeks of each other. The first heat has all the classic symptoms with vulvar swelling, the vaginal bleeding and the male dog showing great interest. But due to hormonal imbalance, no egg follicles are produced by the female, and she goes out of heat. The second heat occurs from two to twelve weeks later, and this heat usually produces egg follicles and the female's hormonal system returns to normal. At this time, the female can become pregnant.

Of course, if she is worried she should call the vet. I think she might have already done that.
