It is moree likely that the drops of blood are coming from an inflamed prostate or a UTI and are not caused by the antibiotic. The antibiotic actually should remedy any inflammation in the urogenital area that may be causing the bleeding. So please finish the course of antibiotics as your veterinarian directed. Should the bleeding not go away you will need to take your dog for a recheck.
