Poor Daisy! This bleeding could be caused by infected anal sacs, an anal tumor, trauma to the GI tract, eating something toxic, or a foreign body. If Daisy isn't spayed, then the bleeding could be coming from her vaginal area due to a pyometra. A pyometra would also cause her to not eat. There can be a lot of serious causes of bleeding from the behind, especially in a senior dog, so I would have her seen by a vet immediately to diagnose what is causing the bleeding so she can be treated. I would take her into an ER vet or find a vet on call to see her now.
