My dog is bleeding from her anal area. Could it be anal glands?

Question

Noticed few blood drops near anal region twice this week. Prior to that occasionally stinky fluid used to ooze from anus. Vet had suggested to clean anal gland every 15 days. Her liquid intake is really good, also daily fibre intake and exercises too. Kindly suggest remedy for blood issue. Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Female | unspayed | 1 year and 7 months old | 70 lbs

I would recommend checking a stool sample for parasites in a younger dog. Blood dripping from the rectum is not normal and should be addressed soon. I would ask your vet to do a rectal exam and check the anal glands. They could be infected or impacted and need medications to resolve this issue. However viruses can also cause bloody stool. A vet exam is best option. hope that helps
