My puppy's yellow tooth bleeds when brushed. Should I see a vet?

Question

Mila has a tooth that just stained yellow.. I've also tried brushing her teeth for the second time but she hates it and keeps pushing away causing the yellow tooth to bleed. What do I do? Pet's info: Dog | Yorkshire Terrier | Female | spayed | 8 months and 9 days old

I would have Mila seen by a vet for this tooth. If it's bleeding, then she may be suffering from severe gingivitis, or she could have damaged her tooth leading to the bleeding. This tooth should be examined and cleaned under sedation, which the vet can perform. I would have Mila seen by a vet tomorrow.
