Hi there and thank you for using pet coach to address your concern. If the bleeding has stopped and there is no evidence of major visible trauma, I would monitor for now. If the bleeding does not stop or continues to occur, then I would recommend having a veterinarian take a look at this so that the most appropriate Diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
