I am sorry to hear Sydney isn't feeling well. Without seeing her, it is very hard to say what's going on. It also depends on where she is dripping from. If it is from her vulva she is probably in heat, and the growling is from all the hormones. If she's dropping blood from somewhere else she is probably in pain. I recommend taking her to the vet to find the source of the blood and treat the problem. Good luck and kisses to Sydney!
