Something has caused her to come into heat. If she was spayed, they
could have missed some ovarian tissue. Or she could be showing signs of
adrenal disease. If it is adrenal, she may show some other signs like
hair loss or she may not. Any way you look at it, she needs to see her
vet because staying in heat like that can suppress her bone marrow and
cause aplastic anemia, a fatal condition.
