Your dog may have been kicked or had a traffic accident. Such extensive bruising is either caused by trauma or a coagulation problem (e.g. caused by rodenticide or disease). This is severe enough to warrant a visit at a pet ER for an exam. If this is caused by trauma there may be more internal injury and it would also be painful. If it is caused by a coaguation problem your dog will need medication to counteract this so he does not bleed to death. Please take him to a vet or Pet ER now.
