Answer
Your dog needs to be seen by a veterinarian ASAP; she could have a pyometra (infected uterus), which is a life-threatening condition.

In-season bitches should *NEVER* go outside unsupervised. As you discovered, males can be very good at going over or under fences (as can the bitches who are wanting to be bred).
