How lovely of you to take in Spot! It is not normal for a dog to bleed at all during pregnancy, and it can be a sign of a spontaneous abortion. She has to see a vet as soon as possible for this. Please take her into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website.
