Hello, sorry to hear about Tyson. There are a couple of reasons that can cause male dogs to bleed from their penis. Dogs can acquire infections of their prepuce, they can prolapse their urethra, they can have masses on their penis, or they can have paraphimosis. I would recommend having Tyson seen by his veterinarian soon to ensure he is not in pain or in need of medications to treat his condition. In the interim, keep him calm and monitor his bleeding. Any sign of severe bleeding would warrant an immediate visit to the emergency room. Hope this helps and best of luck.
