My chihuahua's penis is bleeding. Is it urgent? Should I call the vet?

I just woke up and saw blood on my bed and noticed blood coming out of my chihuahuas penis. How urgent is this? Can I wait until the morning to bring him in or should I try to call someone now?

It depends on the amount of blood and in how much pain he is in. Consider he is small so even a patch the size of an adult person hand is quite a lot for him. If the blood is little drops and he seems bright in himself, no other concerns, you could wait but in all other cases I would call the vet now. I hope he gets better soon !
