Hi, my dog had a little growth on her stomach. It was purple and it pulled off however it was full of blood and was defiantly attached to something and now I am scared I did the wrong thing.

Without seeing the lesion, it is hard to determine the cause. Monitor the area for any abnormalities and have your vet examine him if you notice anything abnormal. If it was attached to the skin, maybe it was just an engorged tick.
